- Famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson sat down for his first-ever VladTV interview, and he started off speaking about growing up in the Castle Hill projects in the Bronx with his parents. He then went on to speak about his love of astronomy beginning when he was just 9, and Neil explained why he decided to go to Harvard. After getting his Ph.D., Neil spoke about becoming the head of the Hayden Planetarium, which is where his love of astronomy started when he was a kid. From there, Neil detailed being twice appointed by then-president George W. Bush to serve on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry and the “Moon, Mars, and Beyond” commission. During the conversation, Neil spoke about living near the World Trade Center during 9/11, and he detailed walking outside with his camcorder to witness the explosion from the first tower collapsing. Moving along, Neil spoke about hosting “Origins” on PBS, and he addressed his comments about the existence of God. Neil also spoke about his response to Kyrie Irving and B.o.B. claiming that the earth is flat and Logic getting him a platinum plaque for his feature on “his album. To hear more, including Neil sharing his thoughts on Elon Musk and electric cars, space tourism, aliens, and college, hit the full interview above.

Neil's take on college is spot on. It's not about learning the subjects (for the most part), it's about shaping the way you think and analyze situations and problems.
yea something our government is not good at, sorry for going off topic on your comment but just stating my opinion
Moronic Neil DeGrasse Tyson accused Bill Maher of failing to change with the woke times and having “given up on an entire generation.”
“I’ve given up on any place that doesn’t even remotely attempt to believe in free speech,” Maher retorted. “And thinks that anything that they hear that they don’t like, that they don’t agree with is violence. These people are fucking nuts and you should be calling them out. Somebody like you, who has standing with kids.”
@@truegamer2819 Not off topic at all. The lack is expressed by Neil quite often.
"it's about shaping the way you think and analyze situations and problems."
You need college for this?
One Of my professors said you will use 5% of what you learn here once you get an actual job. For the most part it simply shows your future employer that you have the ability to learn. He also said that these colleges are ripping the students off and it's a big racket. All of what he said is the truth!
"We will die for having the privilege of being alive" That is absolutely profound and perfectly said
mikebee6530. I'm not sure if you actually thought this was profound, or just didn't think about it before posting your comments. We'll see. "Profound and perfectly said?" About 3/4 of everything Tysons says is either too general to matter, or completely unnecessary. This statement was the latter. Did you honestly need Tyson or anyone else to tell you this? How many people do you know who don't know they are going to die some day? This little detail makes his pearl of wisdom completely unnecessary. It's about like saying "if you jump off a cliff you're going to hit the ground." Here's a funny little twist on this subject. My grandmother wouldn't get out of bed because she was afraid of the floor. They brought in a shrink to talk to her. He asked her why wasn't she afraid of something realistic, like heights. She said "if you fall it's the floor that kills you."
@@georgechristian3902113 agreed with his comment 🤔
@@georgechristian3902 damn you must be really fun at parties
@@justicejustice1800 So what. Do you want to know why the great original thinkers of history are so famous and taught about in school. It's because everyone disagreed with them until them being right became so obvious nobody could.
@@daveblueballz6659 Oh I don't know. I spent a career in the Navy. You can't do that without a good sense of humor. As such, most people though I was a lot of fun at parties, and everywhere else for that matter Especially the brighter ones who could understand what I was saying. Since retiring from the Navy and joining the private sector I still get a lot of laughs at work and social events. And then there is the fact that I'm getting criticized by someone who is trying so hard to be funny that he goes by the name daveblueballz. Which really isn't funny. Quite the opposite actually. Personally, that term has never applied to me, because I've never had that problem. If I did have it I wouldn't advertise it. I'd fix it. Fortunately, I've always been pretty successful with girls, in just about every country I've spent time in. A large part of gaining the favor of the fairer sex is being able to make them laugh. And once you do that. Being able to keep a perpetual smile on their face.
And while I acknowledge your desperate effort to entertain people. I'm pretty sure calling yourself that won't make anyone more sophisticated than Homer Simpson laugh. If they do they are probably laughing at you, not with you.
The emotion it evokes from me is pity. Which is usually the preamble to the familiar axiom "but for the grace of God there go I. Thank you God!
But I've also never been one to turn my back on someone who is struggling and needs help. So here's what I'll do. Whenever you need a few pointers on how to make people laugh with you. Or gain the favor of a member of the opposite sex. Who will probably be in the same boat as you. All you have to do is ask. Maybe I can help you change your current handle to one that is a bit less humiliating.
Neil is one of those humans that make me feel better after listening to them.
Agreed
NAH
I was 18 when this interview started now at 27 we get the full interview
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Watt?
Vlad lucky to interview Neil this man is genius
Im waiting for him interview bob nile the science guy
BILL NYE
It took all glad willpower not to mention his home robbery story at 1:13.
Elon is the genius. Neil just talks.
Neil has zero credibility left.
So many things to take away from this but the main thing for me: I've watched him numerous times on JRE and I swear he wasn't interviewed like this or with this much detail into his personal life so big ups to Vlad for an awesome job "Conduit to the Cosmos" - indeed 🤩🤩
Let's be real. Rogan is kind of a dumbass and isn't really equipped to thoughtfully interview someone like Neil.
He’s unlistenable on JRE besides the first 2 times on there. I’ve been a follower of Neil for over a decade, he’s a hit or miss in interviews after they tried to cancel him. Before that he was always a hit, the cancellation definitely changed his psyche.
@@blockraven22the thing is that Joe Rogan is always trying to be smarter than Neil and get a GOTCHA moment. It doesn't make for a good interview and it puts Neil on the defensive which is why he starts to ramble. You can see that doesn't happen in this interview.
Rogan doesn’t know how to STFU and listen to the smarter guy in the room.
Personal opinion but Joe isn't as good a interviewer than Vlad.
ALRIGHT HERE WE GO! THE WHOLE INTERVIEW IS HERE! WELCOME TO VLADTV! Big fan, this is your first time here, so I want to start in the beginning. Neil deGrasse Tyson, always a pleasure, until next time, PEACE!!!
This man is a national treasure. So cool to listen to Vlad interview him.
NdT is my favorite. I could listen to him forever. I feel smarter after listening to him.
The BEST interview EVER on your channel. BLACK EXCELLENCE AT IT'S BEST!
I LOVED this interview. It was so enjoyable to learn things about him.
What’s your favorite part
Neil responding to the fake moon landing question (better to film the landing on location), perfect response!
Neil Degrasse Tyson is a gift to all of us. He has such a prolific mind yet he is so humble. The man is a genius.
Neil is a brilliant and highly intelligent scientist, but humble he is not. He’s a pompous egomaniac, did you not notice he just spent 2.5 hours talking about himself?
He’s everything you listed but humble sorry man
He's awesome, this is my favorite Vlad interview hands down, because of Neil 👏👏👏👏
@@kingzriot976 ya he is mos def not humble lol
This is the funniest comment I read all day. It's like, how to be sarcastic without sounding sarcastic. Well done.
That analogy with the flowers was real powerful
This is absolutely terrific. What an inspiring human being. Thank you
Even though I’ve watched every clip you broke down over the last few weeks I’m still watching it in completion. Best Vlad interview this year in my opinion🫡 Neil Degrasse Tyson
thanks!
@@vladtv I will always give respect when due🫡 most definitely a Neil classic interview
Amazing stuff. This man's capacity to explain really complicated subjects in a way that doesn't require from you a degree in astrophisics to understand it, is unparaled.
I admire his humility, such a nice & objective person. I wish his approach to life, difficult tasks and other matters inspires all of us. Thank you Dr. Tyson for a voice of reason in an unreasonable world. "Godspeed"
😂
Humility? Lolllllllllll
For me, this was easily the best interview done with Mike that l've seen. Thanks much!
Been waiting on this… he make a mf wanna learn Astro Fizz Assist or whatever it’s called 💪🏽
🤣😁 I swear he do
black people need to admire people like him instead of these corny modern rappers that promote drugs, violence and getting money by any means
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
This has to be the best interview on RUclips. I have always admired Neil and his style. I now learn that he and I sync on so many levels. Thank you for doing this.
Great interview. Bring him back if you can
"I think Pluto is happy that way.."😂😂😂
"You don't want to be so open-minded that your brains fall out" is such a brilliant line haha
Well, Neil Degrass Tyson seems to think that gender is superficial. He figured this out by doing an experiment on a subway in mid winter. He looked at everyone around him to see if he could determine their gender. And he didn't have a problem telling them apart even though they were wearing bulky coats that obscured their body shape. And he realized the only way he could tell them apart was that the women wore makeup and plucked unwanted hair from their face. And this made him realize that gender is superficial and there are many genders. Yeah, he's a regular Einstien.
One of Vlad's best interviews.!
I absolutely love this man!!!!
I Love How He Says Something And He The Only One That GIGGLES..🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
How to do an interview with an expert:
-Ask brief open ended questions, then shut the h-ll up and let him/her/whatever speak as much as possible.
-Extra point for not needing to even appear on camera!
Well done, sir!
Love this man…. He doesn’t seem to identify himself as a philosopher.. but i think he is a great one.
hes black he just a natural philosopher and theologian
Bro dude is far left and completely wrong about Covid just cuz he’s black doesn’t mean he’s heaven sent
Clown 🤡
And that's about all he is.
He doesn't consider himself one because he just regurgitates shit he's read
Best Vlad interview hands down!!! I’m enlightened…. Shots out for the intellectual conversation!
One of the most interesting people in the world to interview. This man's not only a genius but genuinely wants to educate people and loves the nature of human curiosity. Vlad should have done more research before this interview I feel it lacked soo much more. According to other interviews He doesn't like talking about race as vlad did here. He likes to keep things science. This man's one of my favorite people and this interview was all over the place. What a weird ending too. Wonder what was said that was cut??
I am old and retired but you gave me the desire to learn again. I wish you were one of my early teachers.
We need more like him.. nowadays we all want attention on social media and look down on our phones most of the time. Yet, most of us forgot to to look up and forgot how beautiful our universe is.. it's an awe, when u see a shooting star in the sky.
Just got a new big telescope bringing in it out tonight!!!!!
Great interview. I always love hearing Neil's down to earth way of thinking.
Interviewer is too focused on asking the next question rather than fully listening to the responses and fostering deeper conversation
He is a disaster !
Got to keep bringing Neil back a very smart intelligent man who speaks with commen sense , it’s always so refreshing to see a Vlad tv interview when the guests are super intelligent and knowledgeable about life , just all around in general smart people , Neil should come back as much as possible he brings a sense of logic and would be amazing to hear his opinions on things that are going on every few months or yearly , relate to Neil so much on the commen sense he has and his insights on alot of topics 💯 definitely do everything possible to have him as a daily guest would be great for your channel to have someone with some knowledge as a repeated guest for a change 👌🏻 now this is a video I will be watching from start to finish without a problem at all 😎
common* and you aren’t supposed to have a space before your commas
@@quiladog9302 thanks should I add a space after or none at all ?
@bigdollaz it RUclips comments nothing formal here. Not being graded for grammar. Language would have never evolved without mistakes. The POS that gave his unwanted opinion is as creative as rocksalt.
Thank you for this good interview. Big props to Vlad and
This is a great interview - I loved every minute of it. It shows humanism, and Vlad shows he cares about knowing the real NDT, not just the astrophysicis
It's cool that Neil was able to become a part of the Hayden planetarium considering how it helped spark his passion as a kid.
First time I’ve ever heard Neil curse😂 man I love this guy.
Well done. Was looking forward to the Full interview.
very insightful conversation
After all this time it just hit me how great Vlad is at what he does
Excellent interviewer & interviewee....superb anecdotes and simplicity in explanation! Brilliant
Amazing intervieuw!
Can we see a sitdown with Joey Diaz in the future?
Neil's face at the end...priceless😂
The best interview ever
This and the Fred Williamson interviews are two of the BEST interviews VLAD has ever done .
Im just hear to hear vlad say "i know a guy that went to mars and ill say this,,,,,,,,,,"
Thank you for this great interview sir. I will watch Mr. Tyson no matter who is sitting across him but this was one of the best I’ve come across so thanks again
Blessings to Neil deGrasse Tyson. Great interview right here so much knowledge and understanding from this brother.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Couldn’t agree more.
He makes science intriguing and will inspire the next generation.
Neil at 14:10 asking the interviewer to ask the damn question lolol 😹
If Neil were my teachers/professors in school when I was a kid, I could have become the scientist I dreamt to be. How you teach is SO important and he embodies all the best qualities that a good educator should have.
I was the kid in the hood who watch bill nye , zoom , and all of neil degrasse tyson science documentaries, i loved the science Channel! I loved watching him on nova
1:55:35 I JUST was thinkin about how great it would write owners/operator manuals manuals the owners for Ford, Ikea, Apple, etc.
Simply superb interview and the time just flew by.
This guy Vlad has everyone from all different walks of life on here. He’s done videos with pornstars, rappers, and astrophysicists 😂
Dr Tyson changed my way of thinking way back in 2005 when I saw him on nova and I've been a huge fan
Neil is my favorite. 💖
Thanks for this Mr. Tyson and glad!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this!!!!!!
Tyson distorted this interview to dope Excellence I get it😏🙌🏽💪🏽
The last bit of insight on life was astounding and changed my perspective
Very refreshing, informative ℹ️ genuine, fun interview. Thanks.
VLAD, please interview more of this kind of Black person. Not saying the music folks aren’t good but it’s valuable to show a wider range of Black people
Neil is the man !!!, wish he said what island his father's heritage is from
This is GREAT stuff! Loved it.
Great interview. Thanks for that
Vlad u finally got a real interview
Great conversation. Invite him back.
Seeing how nervous and uncomfortable Neil was when he cursed and said
“ what the fuck “ was hilarious 🤣 Neil such a good dude , it’s okay Neil u can curse once in a while bro no biggie 😂💯
Awesome interview. I'll definitely get the book.
Also try "Letters from an Astrophysicist". I've read it twice cause it's that good!
my shift was so much better cause I was listening too this interview!
The college part struck home, I wasn’t ready. I ended up starting my own painting company and making more than I am currently. I stopped my company to please my parents and got a “white collar job” I’m preparing round two of being a small business owner and “silently quitting” or like I saying you get what you pay boss
THANK YOU DR. NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON!
🔥 bro keep these coming
I hit that thumbs up before I even watched it, cause I knew it was gonna be good.
I hope that's the ONLY thing you do prematurely.
@@georgechristian3902 lmao 🤣
I am not wealthy but I was able to go to college and graduate school. I did not leave with a great deal of debt because when I went it was not expensive, though I did envy others who had stopped their education! I have always had higher positions within companies, and have always been treated better than the people “in the ranks” therefore I was fortunate to go to college. And I can think critically, I was very fortunate!
Vlad is the best interviewer on RUclips
Thx Vlad. You got him to share his heritage. He is sooooo reluctant to do so. West Indian descent Dad & Puerto Rican descent (both USA born) Mom. Thank you.🙌🙌. He needs to be President.
Great interview.
I was one of those 3rd graders who sent Dr.Tyson a letter about keeping Pluto a planet. In my heart, deep in my soul, I still hold that 3rd grader's perspective. However I must admit, now as an adult.....I agree with Dr.Tyson and his partner..but nobody says I have to be happy about it 😂😂
Edited to add that Big Foot is blurry
If you know, you know
Favorite interview on Vlad
Happy I didn’t see no shorts and was able to enjoy the full video today
First time watching this podcast. Interesting to see only the interviewee
Excellent interview! Thank you both! Love Neil’s perspectives!
This man can make reading a phone book sound interesting
Only to someone who find phone books interesting. And if you find phone books interesting, you need to get a life.
This particular guest is always stellar. The interviewer and some of his line of questioning...meh. Might/coulda researched his guest a wee bit more as well as listen . Here is just 1 example : after Neil mentioned, several times, that he became interested and involved in astronomy as a pre-teen, the interviewer still asked when he became interested in astronomy. Guest was waaaay ahead of the interviewer. Kind of frustrating watching the guest have to backtrack.
Degrasse is the perennial good sport👍👍
Love this interview
Because my brother got a J.D. (he loved school) he went to the front of the line for Medical Examiner though people had been waiting for so long. His attorney friends liked the way he was good on the witness stand, and encouraged him to get a law degree. (He was proud that his testimony was never rejected/impeached)!
I sense his passion and I believe he has gotten his point across. I would love to read his book but I don't think it's available to me.
Yes I’ve been waiting for this full internet! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My IQ increased by 13 points by watching this video….i took a test before and after 😂😂
When vlad said, "im 49...", Neil could have Kevin Harted him and said, "DAMN!!". But, oh well.
I love this interview.
I like your name.
great guy, great interview, thank you Vlad
1:34:32 another gem... openmindedness 😁
It was a treat to hear Neil say " what the fuck is going on here?"
Neil is an absolute Hero
I wish that Vlad would insert himself less into these interviews. This is not the place where we GAF about his point of view. He always sounds so self-important and like his ideals are the correct ones.
Sir, don't nobody wanna hear you talking about your college degree, your financial acuity, or anything else that you assume everyone would agree with you on. GEEZ!!!
But it was an absolute pleasure to hear Dr. Tyson's story!
Pluto is happier being the king of the comets ☄️ 💫 😅😂❤ Neil is awesome!
