I look at America, post-war, 20th-century America and say, we were the top of our game. Investing in science and engineering, and education. And yeah, we had our inequalities and we had our problems, but culturally as a nation, we had our vision statement. We were thinking about our future. We werent thinking about the now, we were thinking about the tomorrow. Thats what the Worlds Fair was, inventing a tomorrow that doesnt yet exist today. When thats how you think about your country and run your country, you have policy that points in that direction. Innovative, inventive, creative policy that takes you from the present into the future. Without it, you live in the present and the rest of the world passes you by, you might as well physically be moving backwards. Because thats what you look like to the rest of the world. - Neil deGrasse Tyson Watch Neil deGrasse Tysons full interview with Bill Moyers here: Part 1: vimeo/83816085 Part 2: vimeo/84349929 Part 3: vimeo/84931906 #Penny4NASA #NASA #COSMOS #Space #Science #BillMoyers #NeildeGrasseTyson Tysonism Cosmos
