Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson explains how NASA deflects the asteroids that are careening toward our planet.
(FOX 'After The Bell' segment opens with NASA TV imagery)
Interviewer:"NASA is tracking multiple asteroids approaching Earth's orbit...at un-imaginable speed! SHOULD WE BE AFRAID OF THESE ASTEROIDS??"
Neil DeGrasse Tyson:
"The Solar System is a shooting gallery....there are rogue asteroids, whose orbit cross the orbit of the Earth.... THEY ARE AN ISSUE....but not a problem PROVIDING we know where they are, can track them, AND how to deflect them."
Poster Comment:
Oooo-kay...I watched this and was thoroughly entertained. You will be as well.
"Astrophysicist" -- what does that job description even mean? The truth: They are so titled (and paid) to be mere "Theorists" of Space, Matter, and Time.
Anyway...
How much do you suppose it would cost NASA to track AND deflect "rogue asteroids" from smashing into the earth, and saving us...like Hollywood disaster flick and scripts we've already seen?
From start to finish this is one strange, theatrical interview and segment. It opens as expected -- with 'NASA TV' imagery.
How much un-believable or flat out lies, disproven sc-fi theories and claims, bogus imagery and scenarios can you count being advanced in this brief interview??
Neil deGrasse Tyson suggests American Taxpayers should hurry up and finance some kind of asteroid shield and deflector -- like an Atari Game. BEFORE WE ALL DIE!! What a blatant NASA High Priest and Shill.
Do we really insurance from rogue asteroids that *might* hit Earth and blow us up into smithereens? Or is Tyson merely just creating unnecessary panic for kids with yet another crisis that doesn't exist and one more bogeyman for young people to fear?
This interview wound up as a self-promoting advertisement for Tyson and his book called, Letters From An Astrophysicist'.
Presented with his usual narcissistic inanities, Tyson wild theories on the cosmos and life are in full bloom (we've had curiosity "beaten out of us" as adults, so now you can be a part of "Space" again.)
With respect to Letters From An Astrophysicist', according to Tyson it's based on emails he's received over the years -- on death & dying, NASA (total surprise), on parenting, 4th grader hate mail, and various fanboi Trekkie-type mail.
Just as bizarre was the interview conducted by this Fox Business "news" fan-girl (whose crack-pipe was clearly ablaze during the entire segment), it almost ended with a second question by her 9 year old son (he had already posed a prior video question) to DeGrasse Tyson. That question was, "Does Science dis-prove religion?" (The kid's first question was, "How do you think the Universe will end?")
WHY should a 9-year old kid ask these kinds of questions??
Some of you have routinely asked, "Why does the shape of the earth matter?" Why make such a big deal over the issue of NASA? THIS is ONE reason; The kid already apparently doesn't believe in God or obviously, His Creation. OR actual "Science" for that matter.
I am 1000 times more worried about missions to asteroids where they attempt to land on them or set off "seismic" explosions in order to study them.
That's just the kind of thing to knock them out of their harmless orbit and send them crashing into Earth. Maybe not right away, but decades from now. Thanks, NASA.
