From the episode 'Neil deGrasse Tyson Celebrates Mother’s Day with His Mom' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T3KkTIAlYZs.htmlsi=9XFwMaiw9TAika7i
This was filmed 4 years ago if I'm not mistaken. Neil's mom died in November 2023 she was 95. RiP beautiful and wise woman who gave us Neil deGrasse Tyson
Awww 😔 I watched and smiled the whole time thinking of how beautiful she is. How sharp she is. And I just knew that she was still alive and I could totally see her living past 100. I’m sorry that she’s gone but it sounds like she had a great life and was a great mother💞💝🙏🏽
"We didn't have television to remind us we were poor." "Always had an older person in the house and as a result you've always been very kind." "Make sure you [kids] were busy all the time." Man so much wisdom in just a few minutes. Happy Mother's Day.
We just moved my granddaughter into NYC apt where she has a new job. Neil's mother reminds me with her wise words" what I think Of living in NYC... "a learning laboratory" and " Get on with it".
Unfortunately I just learned in the comments that she has passed away😔 But she was beautiful and amazing! I would have loved to see more conversations between the two of them😊💝
@@discobroccoli198 thanks. I’ve edited my comment to just say that she’s passed away. Because that’s the main thing. I watched the video thinking that she was still alive and then learned that she is not.
That's not what you really wanted to say I can actually read in between the lines of what you're trying to say. Let me let you know there are plenty of black physicians and physicists. There's a full-blooded black American woman with a black American accent that's the leader over building certain spaceships. Y'all ain't the only ones with the cognitive mind.
Puerto Rico is a nation she has black ancestry you can see it in her complexion and her facial structure. I know most Puerto Ricans (the ones with black ancestry) don’t see themselves as black but in reality they are.
My mother was born in 1925 but is now deceased . Happy Mothers Day to Neil's mom and all those that are still alive who are almost centurion. They have certainly seen History in action.
Mrs. Tyson account of their family history is fascinating. She is beautiful. She fulfilled her dreams. A blessing. I am in awe of her! I can’t believe she is 96.
Reminds me so much of my younger upbringing. Daddy was a college professor. My mother stayed at home with us. I was a Brownie, my bros were in the Boy Scouts, etc. We were poor but rich in education and learning about the world. Mother taught us to read before kindergarten. In turn, I did the same for my daughter, she is now on a successful career path.
I always admired Neil but now I am in awe of his entire family. His parents were amazing role models for their children. His mom is truly a phenomenal woman! What a great video.
As a mother of two (now grown) fascinating and very different sons, it's great to hear your mom talk about her experiences in encouraging her children to pursue their own passions. I'm 73 now and I've always been grateful to have role models in mothership at every stage of my and my children's lives. I am adding your mom to that list.
She is a gem of wisdom, and affability. I'd really like to see Neil record more time with her. This is the most pleasant eight minutes I've had in some time.
Mr Tyson, I've always been impressed with your ability to cut through the chaffe to get to the wheat of not only physics/cosmologic problems, but almost any problem. With this interview you've shared your understanding of the importance of your very own personal history and how those experiences, whether in or out of your control, can shape you in such important ways. AND, you've shared your mother (BTW, what an amazingly interesting and insightful woman she is!). She was born about 9 years after my grandmother who did the same for me that your mom did for you. She hauled me all the way uptown to that same museum all summer long, where I memorized every inch of the ORIGINAL Hayden Planetarium (the Orrery hanging from the ceiling in the "Copernican?" theater, the planet's gravity scales that gave me the intense desire to study physics in high school...GO NEWTON!)...and the rest of the museum where I learned of conservtion, evolution, and even Margret Mead's work. All that time spent there shaped my college career (I have degrees in antrhopology, social studies, earth/space science, and special education)...well, none of it would have been possible for me to even conceive if my grandmother didn't do EXACTLY the same for me as your mother did for you. Sir, you truely are blessed to have had her, AND to have her still. Hold on to her as long as you can. And thank you so much for sharing her glimpses into such and amazing past that gave you your amazing future.
Your mom reminds me of the many older generation Puerto Rican women in my life. Head strong and inspirational. Makes a way for everyone to get ahead where there is none. Feliz dia de las madres ❤
I wonder if Neil realizes that his gift to naturally share knowledge. His mother short response when he said she had books to learn how to parent. She said the " HELL WITH THE BOOKS" his upbringing was learned at a N.Y. SHCOOL OF ANYTHING POSSIBLE, GOOD,BAD,AND UGLY.!!! SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS!!! message from a 90+ mother. That raised Neil, find the kids passion, keep them busy and teach manners and respect!!! This is as if not as important as the greatest science learned!!! Thank you for sharing personal life. Greatest mom in the world, only second to mine! 😊🙏🫶✌️
Best guest speaker yet. What do you want to be when you grow up ? "I want to be well adjusted and happy with my life." What 'Mom' said, and the number 42, is all you need.
Dios TE la bendiga 💯 happy mother day to her and your family . 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ Feliz dia de Madre para Ella y TU esposa . Orgullosa Puertorriqueña. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
What a wise woman?!! To have raised such a cutting edge human of a son!! Wow!! I will LOVE to sit and speak with her! The wealth of knowledge she must hold. ✨
Oh, this interview was far too short. So many thanks to your Mum for this wonderful interview. A fascinating dear lady. Happy Mother’s Day to her and to all the other amazing Mum’s, who have supported and helped mould the lives of their children
I had to rewatch it because it’s so enjoyable. I noticed that she corrected him in the beginning seconds, to let him know that even though he is a rocket scientist, he is still her child. I enjoyed watching these two brilliant folks, I only regret that she is deceased - I read so from the comments of others. May she continue to rest peacefully because she was so contented while alive that she said to hell with any regrets.
Wow! This is wonderful. My mom is 87 and, although she's still fairly sharp, Neil's mom is incredibly quick witted and speaks without hesitation. What a blessing. ❤
This woman is remarkable, her kids did so well because she accepted them fully for who they are and encouraged them to pursuit their interests and set an example by her pursuing her education later in life. my full admiration for you Sunchita.
My mom was born in 1928, born and raised in Puerto Rico. We lived in NYC for about 6 years and then we went back. They never wanted to change their name.
ALL I can say is WOW!!!! You Mom is AMAZING, INCREDIBLY BRILLIANT.....and it still feels like those words don't do her justice....I see exactly why you are as brilliant as you are!!!!!
I love your mom, so inspiring, I'm planning my summer with the grandkids... splitting then up to do homework. Give us more. I help watch a 91- year old, widows, no relations, that age group have class.
I love your mother. She reminds me of my grandmother. She passed at 94, but her mind was just fine. I could hear my grandmother saying that last sentence of having no regrets, just with a couple of her special words placed in for good measure😅.
