Music is seriously aggressive...but I love me some Neil deGrasse Tyson (That's his name by the way)

Cheers.


What do you mean cheers? It's deGrasse, it's wrong in the Fucking Title!

I find this funny though, because he came out so adamantly against the manned-space program at first. He called it a joy-ride for jocks. Someone must have smacked him around and said, sorry, scientific satellites don't sell, and you're our sales guy. Get with the program.


You really believe that? Jesus there's some cynical fucks on here.

I mean cheers for letting me know. Now you're just fucking annoying me.

I think he probably was discussing something to the effect of "it has less scientific purpose or efficiency than robotic exploration of space." I don't think he's ever said anything like "it's too expensive relative to other government programs." He's always been an advocate for an increased science budget. I just think he knows that the scientific reasoning for manned space exploration (especially low earth orbit) is poorly substantiated. It's more like a PR campaign for science funding, and a recruitment tool for kids.

Honestly man, you come across as cynical as anybody on here. I'm sorry if I'm the first to break the news, but there is no Santa Claus.

Hey! I didn't give you permission to point out my hypocrisy alright! Just you watch yourself buster.

Love me some NdGT, but I can't get on board with his fund-NASA-save-the-world campaign. Seems religiously motivated to me.

Music is from Mass Effect 3. I now have to play it again...

Dude I was playing it and I thought it was fucking terrible not like the first 2 at all. Then after listening to this I went back and started it again...and I selected "Action" on the startup screen so it made it like fucking Halo. If I wanted Halo I'd play Halo, but I wanted an RPG. Started it again, much better.
