I’m constantly claimed by atheists. I find this intriguing. In fact, on my Wiki page – I didn’t create the Wiki page, others did, and I’m flattered that people cared enough about my life to assemble it – and it said, ‘Neil deGrasse is an atheist.’ Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
One of the symptoms of an absence of innovation is the fact that you lose your jobs. Everyone else catches up with you. They can do what you do better than you or cheaper than you. And in a multinational corporate-free market enterprise, it is the company’s obligation to take the factory to a place where they can make it more cheaply. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
When Kennedy said, ‘Let’s go to the moon,’ we didn’t yet have a vehicle that wouldn’t kill you on launch. He said we’ll land a man on the moon in eight years and bring him back. That was an audacious goal to put forth in front of the American people. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote

I’m perennially intrigued how people who lead largely evidence-based lives can, in a belief-based part of their mind, be certain that an invisible, divine entity created an entire universe just for us, or that the government is stockpiling space aliens in a secret desert location.

Science literacy is the artery through which the solutions of tomorrow’s problems flow. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
I’m baffled all the time. We don’t know what’s driving 96% of the universe. Everybody you know and love and heard of and think about and see in the night sky through a telescope: four percent of the universe. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
The humblest person in this world is the astrophysicist. Because we are face to face with our ignorance every single day. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
It turns out our brain is sensitive, maybe too sensitive, to motion. It’s a survival mechanism. Neil deGrasse Tyson Read Quote
