More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
The first colony on Mars is not going to be built by a private company. How are you going to make money? You're not.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
There are countless space activities that would be no less exciting than the moon missions were, I have no doubt. The search for life on Mars, for example.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I know of no time in human history where ignorance was better than knowledge.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Asteroids have us in our sight. The dinosaurs didn't have a space program, so they're not here to talk about this problem. We are, and we have the power to do something about it. I don't want to be the embarrassment of the galaxy, to have had the power to deflect an asteroid, and then not, and end up going extinct.

There's a lot of memorization that goes on in school. You memorize vocabulary words and all these sorts of things.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I have thoughts every day that are themselves tweets.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We in astrophysics we think of the universe all the time. So to us, Earth is just another planet. From a distance, it's a speck. And I'm convinced that if everyone had a cosmic perspective you wouldn't have legions of armies waging war on other people because someone would say, Stop, look at the universe.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The universe's destiny has very little to do with the near-term destiny of Earth.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I think we are all the sum of that which has happened in our lives. And if you're successful, it would be wrong to think that you'd be more successful had something been easier. That's not a given.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The universe is so amazing and so limitless, who wouldn't want to study the universe?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Grab something off the shelf that's on the spaceship-an ashtray, it doesn't matter what. Because I can tell you, if they flew here from another galaxy, no matter what you've pulled off the shelf, it'll be unlike anything we have on Earth.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I never got into 'Star Wars.' Maybe because they made no attempt to portray real physics. At all.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'm not hard to find. I'm all over the Internet.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
There is no true understanding of Biology without Chemistry. And there's no true understanding of Chemistry without Physics.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
God is an ever receding pocket of scientific ignorance.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Merry Christmas to all. A Pagan holiday (BC) becomes a Religious holiday (AD). Which then becomes a Shopping holiday (USA).
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Just to settle it once and for all: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? The egg, laid by a bird that was not a chicken.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Climate change has taken on political dimensions. That's odd because I don't see people choosing sides over E=Mc2 or other fundamental facts of science.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I don't see why there is no intelligent alien life in the universe.
