George Bush, within a week of this [the 9/11 attacks], in a speech, attempting to distinguish US from the Muslim fundamentalists, said Our God is the God who named the stars. The problem is: two-thirds of all stars that have names, have Arabic names. I don't think he knew this. That would confound the point that he was making.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The universe is so amazing and so limitless, who wouldn't want to study the universe?
Neil deGrasse Tyson
