Neil deGrasse Tyson
The tenacity of life is mind-boggling. We keep finding it where no one thought it could be.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I don't ever tell people what to do! Even if it seems and feels that way sometimes, I don't think I should tell a person how to spend their money. I try not to tell people what to read.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
As a citizen, as a public scientist, I can tell you that Einstein essentially overturned a so strongly established paradigm of science, whereas Darwin didn't really overturn a science paradigm.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The news media reported the $250 million as an unthinkably huge waste of money and proclaimed that something was wrong with NASA. The result was an investigation and a congressional hearing. Not to defend failure, but $250 million is not much more than the cost to produce Kevin Costner's film flop Waterworld.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The greatest explorer of recent decades is not even human.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
One thing in life is for certain, the more profoundly baffled you have been in your life, the more open your mind becomes to new ideas.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
