The Daily Show: Neil DeGrasse Tyson – Space Chronicles

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson stopped by The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Monday to promote his new book entitled Space Chronicles. In the interview, he makes the case for how “fear contributed to the development of America’s space program in the late 1950s – thereby spurring economic growth” – and how we lack such an impetus today.
