@@shane864 who are you to tell me to STFU? This is the second time I witness Neil's BS about god. You don't start crying in front of a camera... This is f*ing pathetic. Btw, I'm an agnostic.
Who are you to tell me to StFu shane? Is this why you had my reply erased? This is the second time I witness Neil's BS. Crying in front of the camera. Pathetic. Btw, I'm agnostic.
I saw these pieces about 2 months before on Christie's website (I check out interesting auctions) and they did a good job of writing up descriptions. At the time I thought to myself, if I had lots of money I would love to own several of these items. After listening to Neil, I realize I might buy all of them (I did say if I had a LOT of money - the entire collection sold for just over $16.8 million.)
THIS is why a quality education is so important! Lots of interactions with lots of ART, Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math… and the professionals who are passionate & well spoken about all of the parts of their fields, create students hungry to learn!!!
This is a wonder-filled video. Thank you! Seeing Neal get emotional at the end made my day. And personal story: In 2001, I attended an event at the Hayden Planetarium hosted by Neil which celebrated the 50th anniversary of the publication of the book "Conquest of Space". This book (with artwork by Chesley Bonestell) pre-dated the Collier's magazines that came out the following year and was the first step America's rocket scientists took towards teaching the public that space travel was now finally possible. And because I brought my copy of the book with me, I was able to get it signed by Neal and a number of the others who spoke at that event. It's one of my most prized posessions.
Dude!...I would gladly pay for a museum tour given by NDgT anytime! Such honesty and passion...felt it deeply. Thank you so much. It's an episode to treasure.
It’s something special when you get to be alive, watching someone who will no doubt be remembered in (many) history books, bestowing their wisdom to the masses. Only NDT can bring us all to tears expressing love for the universe.
I would love for some of the major museums, esp. the science based ones like the Smithsonian Air and Space and the Mus. of Sci and Industry in Chicago, to offer audio tours with Neil doing the narration. A museum video tour would be a great program.
Very powerful Neil! Apollo 8 was just as important as Apollo 11. We went to explore the moon, and we discovered the earth. Earthrise changed us! I was eight years old, and I remember it like it was yesterday. Thank you for the uniquely human way that you presented this! 🥰
It's interesting to note that the second, equally famous picture of Earth, _The Blue Marble,_ was taken during the last mission to the Moon, Apollo 17 in December 1972.
Followed you for years. More great episodes than not. This, this episode was truly the cream that rises to the top! Absolutely loved it and sharing it now. From a backyard, not even worthy of amateur, astronomer , thank you for what you do in bringing the universe to the general public.
A wonderfully told story! as always! I have three teenage sons and thanks to you, they are now absorbed in astronomy and astrophysics! they are also more willing to learn English! this is the power of real education!!!! Thank you.
Niel is my absolute favorite. He is one of the very few scientists who can infuse genuine compassion, care, emotion, and humor into any analytical discussion. He is truly a rare gem.
I've been watching Neil for at least 25 years and it was one of the things I remember that me and my late mother would do every week was watch cosmos on PBS with Neil and now I've met him twice at lectures at the Tobin Center in San Antonio and he is a living legend and a icon in my love for space and science! Love you man and keep it up!! Btw I got my son watching with me now and he loves ya too!!! 🥰
I’m prob the least versed person in physics, astronomy, and everything in between. However through Neil’s eyes I’ve found myself questioning the misteries of the universe over and over… I’m always stunned by Neil’s passion, which is unavoidably contagious. He deserves a Nobel prize!
I as a small boy used to run home from school to watch the apollo missions, Apollo 8 I remember so well because the BBC said "and now the module is going round the back of the moon, we don't know what is round there or if there's any dangers there, we all held our breath, until we heard the bleep of the radio and their voices as they appeared from the dark side. Great video Neil.
Awesome StarTalk Neil. 👏👏Hey, you made “me” well-up 🥲. I lived through much of this history, but you have the gift to frame it all in a very special way. Makes me happy 😃 to have lived in such transcendental times.
Our gallery has an amazing sand painting created from millions of grains of sand done in tribute to the Apollo 1 astronauts by the artist, John A. Adams… done in 1967 it was one of the last works he did. He did portraits of Chafee, Grissom & White in SAND! Amazing. 🤯 … BTW thanks for doing this ,.. this was so educational, insightful and inspiring.
well all those ladies were gawking, poor camera person didn't know how to rotate to exclude them because they were distracting, talking in the background, staring into the camera.
I messed up my post Thanks for all you do For all your commitment For all your compassion For all your days and nights to help us all appreciate science, astrophysics and our country's contributions to the amazing world of astrophysics
It each time amazes me how Neil puts concepts of human (and therefore artistic, scientific, ...) perception into simple, heartfelt, striking, powerful words. His uncorrupted perspectivism keeps on giving.
I worked for United Airlines and booked a flight for Buzz Aldrin once... imagine that. Booking a super boring plane ride for a guy who went to the moon 🌙 🌚
Neil getting emotional...wow. I love the person at the beginning of the video who said they used to work at the AMNH and saying they loved what an educator Dr. Tyson is. I agree 100%.
Neil, your iPhone does more than the Cray-1 but the Cray is a 64-bit parallel processing machine. It was built to processes arrays. It did not do windows, the internet, or anything but calculate. It required a mainframe as its front end that managed users, ran jobs, and sent compiled machine code, originally written in FORTRAN, optimized to process array math. Incidentally, it was built out of Texas Instruments bit-slice processors, chips hooked up on parallel 4-bits per chip. Each wire was minimized in length to cut the speed of buss access. I could tell you more but I can't find that old textbook from an early computer architecture seminar I attended faithfully, when you and I were both young. By the way, this was a most delightful tour of Paul's stuff. A Buzz Aldrin suit? Man, I'd lose 30 pounds just to wear that on Main Street. The Hadean Era -- Earth was hot stuff! Peace. 🧙🏽♂️🙏🏼
Imagine having a museum tour with NDGT! That would be totally awesome.. Hearing him made me wish that i should have listened and studied more when i was younger. Your so inspiring NDGT!
I bursted into tears before you did, Neal... Despite I knew what you were about to say. Unfortunately, dogma is still out there... In many different shapes. Thank you, Neal.
THANK YOU FOR THIS NEIL. THIS WAS SO INFORMATIVE, MOVING AND RIVITING. YOUR EMOTION ALSO BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. I WAS 11 YEARS OLD WHEN THE MOON LANDING WAS BROADCAST ON TV. I WAS SO EXCITED THAT I TOOK PICTURES FROM THE SCREN WITH MY KODAK INSTAMATIC CAMERA.
Those 2 chicks walking out as Neil walks in during the intro, there's no way they didn't immediately turn around and were like, "OMG DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS?! AHHHHHHHHH"
I can imagine that pretty much everything you say is invalidated but some stupid or inappropriate term you feel the need to incorporate into each sentence you spew.
Genuinely smiled while watching this video. Really inspires me to try and push myself to do more in life. So many people have achieved great things not giving up.
Unless my memory fails me, Alan Shepard was the first American (second man) in space. John Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth. And Apollo 8 has always been my favorite mission. I so appreciate the emotion brought on by its significance. Love the video!
CORRECTION: if I may, the second person in space wasn't John Glenn. It was Alan Shepard. John Glenn went to space in the mercury mission. It was Alan Shepard who was in the Friendship 7 spacecraft. Amazing video, couldn't help and cried along with you. Pure humanity at its best in a terrifying year.
You’re correct in that Alan Shepard was the second person in space, but he flew in Freedom 7. John Glenn did fly in Friendship 7, which was the third Mercury mission.
Niel Degrease Tyson, Jim-Al-Kheelili & Brian Cox, and Carlos Ravioli, all 4 of them should be conferred The Nobel Prize for the most outstanding Educator's of the modern World, post the Greatest Mr. Carl Sagan
I used to work at Goodwill and we used to get these books all the time I was saved them I just love the artwork on them and reminding me of space walk and an Epcot Love the 50 errors of space travel
The Apollo eight in 1968 I did not know the details about that and to see Mr. Tyson break up during that was very touching and the fact that they read from the Bible to during Christmas coming back was very touching
Which pieces in this collection are your favorite?
Neil's Tears
My absolute favorites are the Chesley Bonestell pieces. Especially "Saturn Viewed from Titan".
I did too
Albert to FDR
I love the art work!
Not me crying, watching Neil cry. His love for space and humanity just radiates.
He wasn't crying. It's the onions.
When Neil cries, we all cry. It's in the museum's rules
@@renbecks66 hahahahahahahaha
Crying because we never did anything as audacious like that since 1972 Apollo 17
@@theheavyweight2008
It was more about how Apollo 8 "discovered" the Earth and how that Earthrise photo became an important symbol for the international environmental movement.
listening to this man will never get boring.
If you can't explain it simply, you yourself don't understand it. He understands science like his mentor, Carl Sagan, understood science.
Yeah will never understand any hate the guy gets. He's just educating. He's giving his life to education.
WATER TOWERS!!!!!!!!
This is the most moving, magical and heartfelt episode in Star Talk history!
The ending is something to treasure.
Wise words Dr Tyson.
Who are you to determine what is wise?
Not really, referring to "Ed" Chaffee. The man's name was ROGER Chaffee.
@@lorenzoblum868 You should take Neil’s advice from the last seconds of this video

Alright Neil, get a new burner account; you've been spotted.
Love this format. Please do more
Eyes glued to the screen. Not a dull second and great coherent editing. Thank you.

The passion of this man is on a whole different level. Thank you Dr Neil
Very touching. Neil is one of my absolute favorite people, ever.
Neil misspoke about the first American in space. That wasn't John Glenn, it was Alan Shepard. Glenn was the first American to orbit the Earth.
YES! I was thinking the exact same thing! Rare to see him make a mistake!
I am forever thankful for Neil. This video is by far the best video he has ever done. You can really tell how passionate he is.

Thank you Sir, very emotional. I remember those days. I still feel the pride that humans landed on the moon.
Hey Neil. I always love the firehose of information you dish out every time you present. Brain overload...I love it. Am never disappointed. Thanks.
The last 10 minutes is just pure beauty 😢❤
I must say that I got emotional a few seconds before Neil . Fantastic video.
that was very fun and meaningful to watch, thank you Neil!
Fifteen minutes in, I was saying, "This is the best thing Tyson has done since Cosmos."

Neil has an immense love for space and everything related to it. What an incredible person!
Just brilliant from start to finish! ❤️
" Do the Math!! alright>! " ... love it
