You really think a man who has dedicated his life to science, is in charge of an Observatory, consults with NASA and was on the board that gave Pluto the Arse is doing it "for the money"??
Neil doesn't NEED the money dude.
LOL...I have been following Neil DeGrasse Tyson since he first appeared to the public. How often do you see a black Ph.D astrophysicist come along educating the public? YES, I know what this man is about. YES, I know he is rich, and I said as much not three posts up:
"Yes, he is rich without this show, but this show could catapult him into the seat that Carl Sagan used to sit in. Unfortunately, as intelligent as he is, he lacks the vision Carl Sagan had IMO. But make no mistake, this is a "show" for him. "
The facts remain. He is an actor in this show. He has no creative or writing input whatsoever. You keep talking about Neil "not putting up with" shit, but that is exactly what he is doing. He probably took this job because Carl Sagan had it. I dont get what you are arguing about. You keep claiming he "wont put up with shit", what do you mean by that? Neil is not going to give time to the Creationists because Anne and Steven are atheists like DeGrasse is. But the rest of the shit he is okay with (obviously). The cartoons, the dedication of episode 3 to Halley and Newton instead of comets and trajectories and impact events. I found it appalling that the episode didnt even discuss Shoemaker-Levy and the Jupiter impact in it's discussion of Newtonian physics.
But this is not on Neil, it is on the writers Anne Dryan and Steven Soter.
