TIME recently went to interview Neil deGrasse Tyson and we noticed a huge crate had been delivered to his office. He was then kind enough to open it on-camera. The back story of this gift is that Neil was adamant that ABC News include the Saturn V Rocket on its list of The 7 Wonders of America. The folks at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama were so grateful, they sent Neil a replica.

How could anyone not simply LOVE this man? He's like a kid in a candy store and the universe is the store he loves the most.

"It's not heavy, it's MY rocket."

@NumeMoon 9 лет назад

I wish I was even half as passionate about anything as Tyson is about space.

@rolfmeyermusic 10 лет назад

This guy is the greatest! Every time he talks its like he's doing a documentary!

@tuhinlahiri24111992 8 лет назад

now thats what i call unboxing video.

@DoctorApotheosis 12 лет назад

He is such a big kid about space. Watching his interviews, whenever he gets on the subject his eyes just light up. I wish I could be so passionate about something like that....

@Wizarrdd 15 лет назад

I love how he appreciates what exactly the gift is.

@TheDragonoftheWeast 10 лет назад

Neil deGrasse Tyson is jacked.

@TracieHolladay 8 лет назад

He used to be a wrestler.

@jimalbi 7 лет назад

I would be too!

@STSWB5SG1FAN 10 лет назад

A pity we've lost our capability to do bold things like Apollo. Maybe someday we'll get it back.

@GSTHb 10 лет назад

you see, we didnt lost our capability to bold things like apollo, we still have it, but it seems that we prefer to use it for other things, like, lets say military.....

@scottstackhouse4180 10 лет назад

The next bold leap for mankind has to be one of thought and understanding.

@sabatino1977 10 лет назад

A point that NDT makes very often is that the space race was an extension of the cold war and the reason we invested the time and money was because there was a "I don't want to get bombed by another country" driving force. It was not, as many of us think, a kind of "let's go explore and see what we can learn" thing.

@pragmat1k 10 лет назад

In a green house gas conscious society I think it might be pretty irresponsible for us to do something like that again...

@pragmat1k 10 лет назад

***** Touché androgynous named science person.

@TracieHolladay 8 лет назад

Come to Florida and see the real thing. It's mind-blowing. Truly mind-blowing.

@Nirvana_Replica 8 лет назад

Tracie Holladay I've been there once as a kid, they got moon stones as well.

@AmpZillia 10 лет назад

I know he felt like a kid again

@Kataang101 11 лет назад

I love his passion for discovery and science!

@justingodbout91 7 лет назад

He's like a little boy holding his Christmas present lol awesome video!

@prot07ype87 6 лет назад

I was JUST thinking about this when I read your comment, haha!

@astroboy9841 7 лет назад

My Inspiration!

@MondrosenPrime 13 лет назад

I lost it when he hugged the model after a lady said "And you have a model in your office?" AWWW

@vvald008 12 лет назад

I always see him in a tie and suit, and I love seeing him dressed so casually and laughing it up with his colleagues.

@timsaurusrex 12 лет назад

I love that line, "It's not heavy, it's my rocket".

@0Tanker0 12 лет назад

I saw the saturn five in person, seeing something so collosal able to reach the stars got me hopelessly in love with space.

@fabioproductions 12 лет назад

I learned so many things in just 3 minutes. He makes a fantastic teacher.

@bigalwrth 12 лет назад

The thing that I love about Neil deGrasse Tyson, is not just the vast amount of knowledge he has about what he does, but how much he loves what he does and how excited he can get about it

@darkyn1138 12 лет назад

His love for science is infectious. "Awesome" should be measured in Tysons.

@fasteddie4145 10 лет назад

I joined the USAF right out of HS and had the honor of working on the ICBM version of the Titan II.......literally 1/20th the size of the Saturn V...it still blew my mind the first time I saw....35 years later I still get chills remembering that moment...

@robdotcom71 15 лет назад

What a fun guy to work with. There'd never be a dull moment.

@geksii 11 лет назад

i love how he is so enthusiastic about things that we wouldn't even think twice about or question..

@gobbledygookie 16 лет назад

his enthusiasm is infectious, great clip :)

@realityDUBSTEP 13 лет назад

This guy is a fucking champ +10000

@dpepps01 12 лет назад

I learnt more watching this 4 minute Neil deGrasse video than a whole semester at university.

@alachabre 10 лет назад

"See these rocket nozzles at the bottom? There are five of them, hence the Saturn-Five." Um, no. Configruations for the Saturn program launch vehicles were C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4 and C-5. C-2 through C-4 were scrapped in the design stage. C-1 became Saturn I and Saturn IB. C-5 became Saturn V. Correlation of the naming with the number of engines in stage 1 is coincidental. Sorry Neil!

@Italky 10 лет назад

People make mistakes, just because he is smart as hell doesn't mean hes going to get every detail correct.

@imcnagpc2 9 лет назад

The c- 5 was named for the five rocket engines. Then it was renamed Saturn V . So he's right.

@alachabre 9 лет назад

No. C-5 was the fifth assigned design prototype. As I said, the number designation has nothing to do with the number of rocket engines in the main stage. If you don't believe me, go find the info at NASA. It's there.

@galaxianum27lunar 7 лет назад

alachabre, you are just an average guy who tries to feel smarter than you actually are, by attempting to correct a smarter man. Sorry!

@freakflagflies 12 лет назад

I think one of the biggest reasons I love this Guy is because of his PASSION!

@walkerneo 14 лет назад

"It's not heavy, it's my rocket" is a reference to "he's ain't heavy he's my brother" by the Hollies.

@yaklin104 12 лет назад

he seems like a cool guy to hang out with, kind of like a grown up kid, i can't help but smile as i watch this video.

@resoprint 12 лет назад

I can't believe someone can be this smart, cool and funny at the same time.

@angelanalog 12 лет назад

I haven't watched a video with Tyson in it where I haven't smiled. This guy wins human of the year award.

@mush01 13 лет назад

Humanity needs more people like Neil deGrasse Tyson.

@protocol512 15 лет назад

lol!! I was thinking the same exact thing when he pulled it out of the crate.

@ROBLOXobama1337 10 лет назад

Where can you get one of those? I have a Saturn IB, but the Saturn V takes the cake.

@mccote 16 лет назад

I saw an interview where Neil was talking about how he first met Carl Sagan, and how Carl was so nice and generous and respectful and unassuming, even though Neil was basically an unknown at that time. If only Carl could see him now :)

@slugfly 12 лет назад

It's so awesome that he went in cold, not even knowing what it was, and immediately launched into an enlightening and inspiring rant about it!

@aeroeng314 13 лет назад

Just in case no one's said this yet, to answer the question posed in the video, each F-1 engine in the first stage of the Saturn V consumed consumed about 670 gallons of propellant each second meaning a total of about 3350 gallons of propellant was consumed each second. This thing was a beast.

@EeekiE 13 лет назад

@caddy1010 You're not stupid. I knew nothing much of Apollo till a few weeks ago. It's truly awesome stuff! What you've said is absolutely correct. the S+C stays in orbit around the Moon waiting for the LM to touch down, take off, and rejoin. Then all 3 connected parts rocket back in to Earth's gravity. It only takes a small amount of fuel in the S+C mod to do this, as it never had to come from the moon's surface, is already going fast, and only has less than 1/6th gravity to escape from.

@JeffGR4 10 лет назад

I absolutely love this video exponentially!!!!!

@13topich 9 лет назад

who is your profile picture?

@JeffGR4 9 лет назад

@13topich 9 лет назад

thank you :)

@Pooverse 12 лет назад

What a fantastic nerd you are Mr. Tyson. Nerd in the most positive awesome way ever, a nerd for science and knowledge. His passion is so contagious as well.

@yeflynne 12 лет назад

honestly.. there are so many things that humans generalize into "awesome" or variants of "sooooo awesome" because we don't have a language system diverse enough to satisfy creating clarity for the various levels of awesome we experience, and so i think this is a great idea.

@assail 11 лет назад

opens box, sees its for second, tells you the name, what its done, what its capable of. true genius and a great man to listen to. i wish this guy was my next door neighbor

@Anduy261 11 лет назад

Did anyone notice the statue of Newton on his table? He does love his badass idol.

@JustOneEarth 12 лет назад

Dr. Tyson has an amazing ability to make being poetic and informative look as easy as breathing. He is absolutely one of my most favorite people on this planet.

@ardvark84 11 лет назад

I'm proud to be one of he's kind!

@XxerikpereyraxX 12 лет назад

3:39 Priceless!

@ExhumedThallid 12 лет назад

"Yes it's heavy but it doesn't matter because it's the Saturn 5 rocket." I know that feel, bro.

@SakuraiMei 13 лет назад

Is that a "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" reference I see there 8D

@english1d1 12 лет назад

i want neil to make a youtube channel. he'd become the most subscribed in days.

@nermid 12 лет назад

I was sent here with only the information that this was a video of Neil deGrasse Tyson opening a box. Honestly, I was willing to be happy with this video at 0:45. The next 3 minutes were just gravy.

@supahsekzy 14 лет назад

I love this guy's constant childlike sense of curiosity.

@nojoek152 13 лет назад

I once heard that the Saturn V rocket at launch get about 5 feet per gallon of feul.

@airbusftw7063 12 лет назад

Meeting Dr Tyson is one of my wish list before I die.

@bdf2718 16 лет назад

Love the Hollies reference.

@SandWolf_ 12 лет назад

lmao, his face when someone said it's your rocket now!

@JacobHayden911 7 лет назад

Love Neil! This is awesome. Can't believe I'm just now seeing this!

@NAPauliukonis 13 лет назад

If he had a show, I'd watch it every day

@EXIx2 11 лет назад

Not just a wrestling but THE wrestler. He was definitely a force to reckon with back then (and still to this day).

@TheClassyHat 13 лет назад

@slacker4rent It all comes down to perspective really, like how the Spanish coming to the Americas was like exploring another world to them.

@sirdigby727 14 лет назад

@spydertub3 Funnily enough, when Tyson applied to Cornell, his application actually attracted the attention of Carl Sagan, who was a member of the Cornell faculty and promptly tried to recruit him to Cornell (Tyson ended up going to harvard). So when you say that Sagan would be proud, you are actually right.

@PhilRounds 14 лет назад

Neil's joy of science is infectious!

@otivaeey 12 лет назад

Boxing strength should be measured in Tysons, but awesomeness in Neils.

@Scarr420 12 лет назад

He is like a kid at Christmas. I love this guy.

@akindad 15 лет назад

That's a great looking crate it came in.

@BillMurrayIsGod 15 лет назад

i love how everything he does has a scientific demonstration

@patkomplat 11 лет назад

Because that's exactly what we need on this planet.

@afridgetoofar1818 Год назад

“There are five rocket nozzles, hence the Saturn V.” Neil is the king of making up stuff on the spot 😂

@nazaxprime2391 9 лет назад

That excitement... XD

@gregoryfujita8265 11 месяцев назад

At 1min 49sec,the custodian looks at neil as if to say "..yeah whatever,can I have my screwdriver back man???"

@caddy1010 13 лет назад

@JeefCakes I dont want to seem stupid but the S+C module launches the Lunar Module, it touches down and they leave and meet back up with the S+C Module which has been waiting for re-attatchment, then they launch back into Earths orbit?

@misssheatherskye 11 лет назад

"aahhhh" That's the sound my anxiety makes

@caddy1010 13 лет назад

@JeefCakes Thank You! PEACE!

@nero91 14 лет назад

"It's not heavy, It's my rocket!"

@spydertub3 15 лет назад

I consider myself a hard person to impress, but nothing Tyson has ever said went below that line. He goes on the list of the VERY FEW intellectuals that I would listen to day and night. He is a genetic manifestation of what it is to be human and want more for our existence. Sagan would be proud.

@bobibest89 10 лет назад

gotta love that guy

@freedomland11 13 лет назад

@1:36...I think we all thought the same thing!!!!

@tahititoutou3802 10 лет назад

I think the title is funny. From NdGT I would have expected "Neil deGrasse Tyson opens an office in his rocket"...

@thorongil21 11 лет назад

This guy is truly amazing. His knowledge of the sciences is so vast, yet he still finds every little detail fascinating, most likely no less that the first time he learned it. (not to mention his reaction on opening the rocket, of course) Also, as Albert Einstein once said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." Well, Neil deGrasse Tyson explained a few basics of ROCKET SCIENCE to us peasants in 2 minutes. To which I say, bravo Mr. Tyson, you are a legend.

@n64jerry 13 лет назад

@supahsekzy That is, in fact, one of the things that makes a great scientist. I love this guy. Cheers

@Giby86 12 лет назад

How can he be that badass even doing something like opening a gift?

@manny45629 12 лет назад

yeah thats what i was thinking, he's still like a little kid at heart

@5WDFREE 14 лет назад

Darn that makes me want to watch Apollo 13 again.

@danthemanzizle 12 лет назад

Awesome idea! I shall hereby award you 7 Tysons.

@AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible 12 лет назад

What you see here is the pleasure that scientific knowledge can bring. The reason he is so excited is that he knows and deeply understands the truly stupendous achievement of the Saturn 5 and Apollo programmes. When you really grasp a part of science, and realise that it is actually real, and not some fairy tale, it can be hard to stop smiling. Kids, science is not just learning facts, it's actually a philosophy and a framework for interacting with the universe around you. And it works.

@pinkbadger89 7 лет назад

FRA GEEE LAY! That's a major award.

@SilverandButters 11 лет назад

He had that "I'm not impressed look." lol

@ptroinks 12 лет назад

I would just love to have a Saturn V replica! Not that big, though, but a well made, accurate replica! If anyone knows where to get one, please let me know!

@cms6506 12 лет назад

I really hope i get to meet this guy one day

@EeekiE 13 лет назад

@caddy1010 It leaves Earth and heads toward the Moon at 17,500mph+ As it gets closer to the moon it accelerates as it's being pulled in, and it goes in to orbit still at 1000's of miles per hour. The Lunar Module goes down, meets back up at the Service+Command module, and then that chunk of Service module is fired to leave the Moon's gravity (easy) and head towards Earth, which starts pulling it back in by Gravity pretty soon, with massive effect. The hard work is leaving Earth.

@Dalroc 11 лет назад

He didn't even know what was in there.. But yet, when he opened it, he got into "DeGrasse mode" and it became like a fucking documentary! :D This man is so full of knowledge!

@mannyftw 13 лет назад

He loves it so much, it makes my insides fuzzy.

@MattWeismiller1994 11 лет назад

Or you just love how he geeks out.

@lilithblackdragon 11 лет назад

Just for the record - the Saturn V is just over 360 feet tall. That's about 36 stories high. There are buildings in downtown Orlando that aren't that tall.

@nuclearbox2 13 лет назад

THIS IS GOLD. AND HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS

@amodastra1953 7 лет назад

Where can I buy this!!!???

@EeekiE 13 лет назад

It's not a joke, it happened back at the end of the 1960 and in to the 1970's before the program was shut down. Quite a lot of people heard about it...

@EeekiE 13 лет назад

@caddy1010 The bit he had his fist around is all responsible for getting from the Moon back to Earth. The bit he was referring to never touched the Moon. The bit he was referring to IS the only piece to make it back to Earth (intact). The bit he had his fist around was the Service Module, which contained fuel to go from the Moon back to Earth. Below the Service Module would have sat the Lunar Module (the only bit to reach the Moon).
