Neil deGrasse Tyson: Space Exploration is Good for Our Culture

We had fins on our cars, and fins on our rockets.

Neil deGrasse Tyson gave the keynote at the 28th National Space Symposium. It’s nearly an hour of inspiration, a reminder of how exploring science is not just about knowledge, but also imagining tomorrow. It wasn’t until we looked at our planet from the Moon that we truly discovered it, without borders, blue and beautiful.

From the 1950’s to today … it’s been quite a scientific ride in space and on Earth. We must call from the mountaintops that funding NASA, and science in general, is the seed that grows into technology and culture.

Science is inspiration. Here’s your evening entertainment, courtesy of Dr. Tyson and his dream. The good stuff starts around 14:00 in.
