Neil deGrasse Tyson: Trump's Space Force Is Not A Crazy Idea 

This made my day, thank you

*Astrophysics Black Guy*

@@wunzeptepwun6175 hayden planetary fly. By the way the answer to your little calculation is i as in I put the swag back in science

I have a lot of faith in science. Neil is a guy that seems to spend way too much time posting RU-vid vids than any other scientist I know. I'm worried that a lot of people think he is a serious dude.

@@edvardramsay80 he is serious

So in turn he would be their favourite astrophysicist

Which makes him the favorite lol No but true, that is 100% true

I know Michio Kaku as well as Neil

Rip Carl Sagan

Carl Sagen was very good. Man wrote paper made discoveries. The Astrophysics we have on TV now are just bunch of marketing men, they have no major accomplishments.

@@Matthewxint22 The video, which was probably released later than the actual interview, was published on september 12th 2018, sooooo yeah.

@calistorich The fact that Trump started Space Force shows how ahead of his time he is. Don't hate.

Stephen looked like someone slapped his face with his Bible

@@christopherwalkinalloverya5824 Ah yes, a true genius

Colbert : I disagree with trump Trump npcs : Orange man good

@@ziecheese There's a difference between disagreements in policy and devoting years of your life to shitting on the President for no real reason other than "orange man bad." Orange man is objectively good, rhetoric doesn't define policy.

@HellOWorld Well Fox News is full of shit and promotes their agenda whilst pretending it's all "fair & balanced" journalism and they're still around.

@@MrRamazanLale2 It is not Trump's job to fix Flint and Alabama, that is the State's job. Americans don't fight for Israel, a short browse in the history of the region would show the fact that Israel can pretty much do that on its own. 55% of US budget is not spent on the US military. That is a talking point fabricated by only looking at descretionary funding and not mandatory funds, which is where majority of US taxes actually go to. In actuality, US military funding only constitutes about 16-17%. US military budget is about $600 billion, Social security and Medicare total budget runs at more $1 trillion each, with total US budget at about $3.8 trillion. On your last point, I agree. The US should stop minding other people's business, including sending foreign aid. The US should allow internal turmoils, genocide, and terrorism to run rampant all over the world. It is a domestic problem, so those countries should settle it by themselves. Also, good luck trying to implement international treaties if nobody is going to enforce it.

@HellOWorld I don't mean to burst your bubble, but Obama didn't do and say retarded shit as often as possible and therefore didn't get made fun of as much. Trump literally says something ridiculous every time he talks for more than 2 minutes. All of his tweets only make it worse for himself.

Accelerationist Thanks ✌🏼

Take science classes! All of my physics and astronomy teachers were just like him! Changed my life just listening to them talk. Great inspirations

Wish I could. I'm about 10 years too late 😅

@@heatherjustcreate ❤️❤️❤️

I used to have a teacher were he would just turn everything into a story! We were doing maths once and he randomly started telling us about some special medal in the armed forces (UK) that was made out of the metal from a bomb!

@alvi syahri he's not a bad interviewer, but really weak at jokes. "Trump is crazy". Really? That's the best he can do? It's so stale. It's the same joke that's been going on since the election. Boring as shit.

ラファエル no kidding

alvi syahri he trump bashes trump every chance he gets

He cant help himself its how he makes his millions

He won't do that

They are comedians with their own latenight show, not talk show hosts, that's why.

literally the point of the show and thats their job

Jokes are alright but STOP INTERRUPTING YOUR GUEST OMG

The nature of the now talk shows. Marvelization

Ironically Neil loves to interrupt

@@AviChetriArtwork and the bad guys have the military supremacy

Well said.

Yes however if you would bother to read the comments here on this video you can see how much wind the arrogant and selfish can get to use and abuse what he said. It does not matter if I'm reasonable when we are in a fight when you get to play/nudge it according to your argument. Apparently Trump came with the idea of space force all on his own now...(if you read the comments)

Agreed :) I went a bit harsh on a benign comment that is true. But my comment still stands just the wrong person got the spray. Peace as in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eWjwfYq0ebc.html

Except you shouldnt forget something here. A: Tyson isnt unbiased here. When the military steps into a scientific field there are always massive Research Grants waiting for the scientists there. And especialy seeing how everything gets their budget cut except the military who gets more and more money almost every year this Research look pretty seductive. B: Tyson is not a universal genius but a astrophysicist. This mean that he is very adept in his field (witch to put it simply is space) but that doesnt mean he is suddenly an expert for other fields this space force has a effect on like political, economical, social etc. And this is a thing many people tend to forget. People like Tyson or Steven Hawking when he lived were only experts in their fields. Outside of that they are probaly not that much more smarter than the average person and especialy not as much as people who are in turn experts in this field. You wont ask a sociologist to explain how the string theory work but we trust a physicist in return to know what social and global impacts a military space programm has. Because militarizing space (witch actually was tried before under Reagan) has many social and political impacts ranging from it perhaps not being the best use for military money in a time were more and more countries (like china, russia and also north korea) invest alot in cyber-warfare and the impact of putting military into space on global stability because as soon your in Space, borders basiacly become meaningless. It could basiacly lead to a arms race that makes the cold war look like a civil discussion. So based on its own merits a space force may sound like a good idea especialy because it would grant the nessecary programms fro space exploration much needed funds it is in a time of social struggel and global destablization probaly not the best use of tax payers money. Because while it may sound facinating to go into space we should probaly get our shit together down here first before doing that. Because without that it could lead to a even more fractured human species at best and at worst well it does probaly the exact opposite of "securing humanitys future". Technological progress is meaningless (and sometimes very dangerous) without social one.

Joey Yared Eloquently worded

Asa Nichols wow like.....awesome job on that explanation mate

Asa Nichols, to be fair, Neil is as you said a scientist, so while he or others like him should definitely have input, the militarisation of space is going to require military knowledge. Personally I think it's a dumb idea, we should have a multinational space peacekeeping force instead of promoting further space militarisation and risking Kessler syndrome trapping us on the planet for maybe thousands of years. But that's me examining the idea on its own merits. And, while you _say_ Colbert isn't a scientist, you seem to forget that he _is_ Professor Impossible.

I like that his brain is working so fast and he's constantly thinking and pondering stuff that he often trips over his words trying to relay the information from his brain to speaking. You can just watch him and its like his brain is a overcharged gerbil running on a treadmill, while trying to explain just what he's thinking about. That's one big brain.

Ikr?! And then, as it's own branch, it can seek new funding from congress!

It didnt happen as smoothly as you imply. The Military did their utmost to suppress there was even a place for Aircraft in the early 1900s. The brigadier general who campaigned for an air force was busted down to a lowly colonel & reassigned elsewhere, because he was asked to bomb a ship from 500. ft & he failed, next trials same orders, however he decided it could only be achieved at lower altitudes as they had no bomb sighting equipment so he ordered his men to bomb at 300ft & they sunk the ship. Because he dropped at 300 not 500 he was demoted for disobeying an order.

Its not trumps, dummy

@@bryna7 He's the commander in chief, ....dummy

It isn't in Neil to make anyone look like an idiot. He accepts that not everyone knows about everything about a subject.

@Frank Winkhorst No, he got the job doing planetarium shows because at age 8 he walked into Hayden Planetarium, got excited about learning about space, and eventually became the Director of that very same planetarium. Also he was voted sexiest astrophysicist; that helped I'm sure. :D Edit: Spelling, lol. Super important spelling. :D

I hope you meant 'sexiest' and not 'sexist!' :D ;)

Hahaha, no doubt!

i mean if it had violence/nudity and break every rule everyone else gets banned for they would Trend #1 for a long time. Google= Rules for thee not for me

It's because I was in the audience!!

Neil is the only reason

The media and selected individuals have gotten so bad and so obvious in their attacks, i now question why they might strategically say anything good about Trump.

Because it's from Trump and "da orng mun iz bad.... teh newz told meh su....." The space fporce itself is actually a really good idea and as time goes on is going to become a much more mainstream concept

Come on now. A Broken clock can be right twice a day still don't mean it ain't wrong most the time tho. You claim sane but are biased in your own insanity.

@Altruait987 Hypocrisy wins always.

Gary Oesterle ...ooh, thank God, a smart person!!!

I thought it was good and I am a Trump supporter

The "it doesn't help" was better

Neil reminded us to look at things objectively!

Just have Trump explain it then you'll see he will have no clue what he's proposing.

@@damianminchew402 it's not really a secret if you can Google it and it a has 4.6 stars rating now, is it? PS. They also have a Twitter account.

jmarks881 Look up “Kessler Syndrome”, a potential future disaster we could be facing where Space junk could cascade in to a field of dangerous debris that would prevent humans from leaving Earth for thousands of years. If anything, we send too much stuff up there.

Yes, and in doing so they can expand alot easier, and get more targeted funding for projects etc. Think about the Planes that came after the USAAC separated into the USAF

Oh hey very underrated joke you have there. I’d be a shame if I... Liked it

Loreo Same this guy comments on everything haha.

Lol

Gosh that pun was so spacey

Didn't expect to see you here.

I love Neil but there are literally thousands of candidates better suited for the job, Neil is a social scientist, which are present more to explain science than to do science.

Neil deserves better than to be lumped with the Space Farce.

I think he's angling for the job

Michael Scofield That's exactly the skillset required to be the figure head of a government institute. Neil would make sense for Secretary of Space Force. The administrator of such an organisation doesn't do actual science.

Why would he want all those headaches, when he can just soak up the grant money and contract work.

I wouldn't 100% say that's why, I am not sure whether to like it because of Tyson, or dislike it because of Colbert.

John Doe honestly I thought Colbert was funny for a while on the daily show but now honestly he is just another talking head I can’t actually say I hate him because I feel so little toward him.

That's okay, the LIKES far out weigh the leftist outrage. Some people ignore the facts and go with emotion.

I guess the leftist outrage was just 6%. That's phenomenal considering this is on a far left propaganda show.

Because the ratio doesn't matter....

yo sorry to be annoying but i just put out some music that ive been working on for a year. itd be dope if you could check it out

Sha, is your channel monetised, and are you really here or are you a spam bot? Because that's what _my_ mind jumps to when I see unsolicited and off-topic self-promotion like that.

He partakes :)

@First Last, Stephen is a bad guy though.

Stephen Colbert would not even be *_on_* television if he were a conservative. He got his big break on the Daily Show on Comedy Central, which is unreservedly, unapologetically liberal to its core.

@@WorthlessDeadEnd Don't most actors and comedians tend to be more progressive? You don't see many hard-line Republicans in that line of work.

@@vanillajack5925, there are more than you may think, but they have to stay in the closet out of fear of being lied about, harassed and blacklisted by the powers that be.

Comedy has to make sense, be relatable and smart and republican ideologies has none of those qualities, so I don't see how you can make comedy out of it.

What is your current career field now if you don't mind answering?

@@moldyrefrigerator Been in the casino industry for over thirty years

@@ClassicStreetIron Im a Canadian citizen, any chance I could join the space force?

In the TimesTalk interview, he actually mentioned that his ability to convey science didn't come naturally. He practiced and trained that ability. But he really outdid himself, I think.

Yeah Stephen Colbert did not get what he wanted. He should have never entered into the mere thought of it. It was a stupid move on his part.

Neil is a proper teacher that doesn't get influenced by anything other than what he observes as factual.

CJC that's what he does

Reader B no, it’s not parody or comedy. It’s pathetic how you rely on trash talking the president for ratings. Can’t wait to see what he is going to do when trump isn’t around no more

@@CJCGaming what he did before Trump was elected.

@@kalfrey534 which was nothing. He had no ratings until Trump came along. He's still struggling in the ratings compared to his counterparts.

John Lorton it’s still a terrible show. All he does is fucking talk about trump for 45minutes straight. People only promote him because they hate the president. It doesn’t matter if I like trump or not, his show still sucks

he is Stevens guest with the most appearances on this show..

I’d love a regular capsule with Neil and Stephen...

He has his own show you can watch.

I think he is the third most frequent guest behind Jon Stewart and John Oliver

He already goes on like once a month 😂

soulbrother12 I totally agree that was my first thought as well!!

Trump is going to make Halo great again

Then you'll hear that Trump colluded with Cortana.

Andres Zamora, They have evidence! just give it two years i'm sure everything will come out in the open...

UNSC is United Nations Space Command It’d definitely work! But it’d be USSC (United States Space Command) still would work still would be a better name than Space Force

NO. We shall not submit our most important border to the control of foreign princes or potentates.

shawn 9k you Trumptards are such immature children when it comes to defending him.

James Jumper Excellent joke, good sir. I'd applaud, but in space, no-one can hear you clap.

He's had more Colbert appearances than anyone so you're in luck.

Still i want more of him!!!

He is an egghead, pretending to be great because Americans are even bigger fools

And to cover up for shadow government and military industrial complex, right

I do admire Neil, but he does seem to be more celebrity than Astro-physicist these days.

@@pelvis_assley The question is, does he know and is corrupted, or is he sheeple?

@@Mugdorna right! Imagine if he applied himself like Elon Musk...or maybe people are right about him and he doesn't get any work done unless in a group anymore...I can't remember anything besides being head of Hubble & reclassification of Pluto) so all groups. He doesn't seem to come up with his own theories at all lately, just come on TV and talk about other people's theories.

@@Mugdorna He was always more pf a science communicator than a scientific leader. And that's fine in my view.

No, that's just your perception playing tricks. There's tension insofar as they're doing witty banter/debate for entertainment. It's not negative or aggressive.

Funnily, if every human on earth donated a penny to NASA, it would be less than 4% o their annual budget

Joseph Koester but every American has to pay half a penny

@Joseph Koester Less than 0,4% of their annual budget* (I know, less than 4% still applies. But saying less than 0,4% makes it even more staggering.) ~7 billion people on earth. NASA's annual budget: 20,7 billion dollars. 7 * 0,01 = 0,07 billion usd. 0,07/20,7 * 100 = 0,4%

Yes!!!!

I get what you're saying, but simply put what do you expect to find down there? Space exploration is way more interesting, not to mention useful.

Austin Stout It’s too bad Trump can’t be more like Neil, right? Trump is always spouting off his political agenda and putting down his political opponents with racist and derogatory nicknames.

Same tbh, Refused to talk bad about Trump, he's not about politics it seems, and it's a nice break.

He already has. You can search it up.

He does. Often. But they still troll all his social media calling him a shill. In fact 90% of the commenters on his posts are flat earthers.

I just can't wrap my head around what possibly could people gain by arguing against all the facts around us that the planet is spherical like the rest around us in space. Popularity? Money gain? Or they have nothing better to do?

@@rockerojuan it's a psicology effect. Like all the conspiracies they get a rush believing that they know something that the rest of the world don't know or want to "ignore".

The ones who don't believe in space travel rarely reply to a simple challenge I always give them... seeing the ISS with their own eyes. You can do it with a cheap pair of binoculars or a cheap telescope (like super cheap, like the US$20-30 range)... it's blurry, but it's a notably _rectangular_ shiny thing pretty stationary up in the sky, so it's obviously neither a planet nor a star. I guess it _could_ be a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier? I'd also recommend it to any of you sane people, because looking at the ISS with your own eyeballs (even if enhanced by optics) is _really really_ cool! Or maybe I'm just a massive nerd 😁

attila the fun jr. leave it to trump to mention witch hunt everyday. Lying nearly every word in between.

The Rue Morgue ... truth hurts hey

Ed S do some research and you'll see who is really lieing

Yep. This must be like swallowing hot rusty razors for you. Good!

Yeah, who wants to talk about the guy who's threating Democracy anyway...what a waste of time, eh?

Yeah, you want to make an economy amazing overnight? Secure absolutely absurd amounts of natural materials. The cost of capturing asteroids should be a top priority as it is simply the best investment possible, with potentially unlimited returns

maybe not drop it :-/

If we're going to mine astroids it's more efficient to keep it in outer space and use the minerals in further space exploration, like building more space crafts.

it will explode on its way down unless you build a heat shield around it but then it will not lose alot of its kinetic energy and will simply explode upon impact with ground.

If we'd all be able to get rich off of it, that means we all have access to it to sell. But if we all have access to it to sell, who are we selling it to?

No.....hed still have a show because the United states in a democratic country

@Zan Matthews The USA is a republic. AND money is what puts and keeps shows on TV. It's all about ratings. Low ratings, no money, show gets cancelled. That is how it works. The only reason this fool is popular is b/c he hates Trump . And that is why I NEVER watch his show, or any of the lying leftist commie socialist sell outs like him.

Colbert actually seemed better prior to Trump. Veriety being the spice of life 'n all.

Ben Jacobs exactly, alot of these late shows have to bring up trump on every show they do. I can understand criticism, it comes with the territory. but to poke fun at your president each and everytime about everytime gets stale....very quickly, doesnt matter if you like him. its gets old unless you swing his way, then hes the greatest thing since bill nye the science guy in middle school.

Colbert was around way before before Trump, just saying....

As usual Trump says something borderline retarded and then people try to interpret anything usefull into it. Funny tho that this sixth branch was suggested years ago during a meeting hold between the Pentagon and a group of astronomers (including Mr. Tyson) regarding more efficient use of military interests in LEO. So this is not even Trumpys idea ....

There's just one problem. We already have a Space Force. And a US Space Command. And multiple sections to it. That's like saying we need an air force right now.

Exactly. Next thing he's gonna put Paul Ryan in a Chewbacca costume & put him in charge🙃 Smh lol

you just made that up because of your hyperbolic perceptions of trump

What a ridiculous statement Really? Can you back that up, point to any instances where he has ref what you said?. Or are you just projecting a strawman based on your idea of what he might think based on news reports? LIKELY Trump was informed that this was happening by the military, it would've happened if HIllary got into power too regardless...I lean left, but the left has completely lost the plot when it comes to trump and have absolutely no perspective. Even a great non political scientific titan like Neil was shaking here , he could feel the anti trump feeling in the room being directed at him, its insane...absolutely insane...

KamekoBruns, it sounds like you've never heard of Reagan's "Strategic Defense Initiative", which was widely, albeit informally, known as the "Star Wars" programme. Calling Trump's Space Force "Star Wars 2.0" isn't inaccurate.

How so? All he ever does is lie for Satan and oppose God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible.
