We are watching Chuck get more and more informed with us. It's really cool to watch his thirst for information grow with us. Thank you Dr. Tyson.

Neil we need more people like you. You yearn for others to feel the same wonder that you do looking out into the galaxy, and you artfully navigate the politics of today and you do it with compassion (the thing that is humanity's greatest attribute). Thanks for all you bring to humanity.

There was an episode of Star Trek: TNG where Data argued rather convincingly that fire is a form of life. It requires significant energy to ignite, it consumes fuel, it produces offspring, it dies.

"...except the galaxy doesn't have cars." Our galaxy does technically have one car floating out in space right now
