COSMOS & Neil deGrasse Tyson Challenge the World

I am absolutely obsessed with anything related to the history of space or our Earth! Cosmos might possibly be my favorite series ever. The amount of knowledge gained is priceless throughout every single minute of the show. Even though I have learned a good amount about biology from my time as a biology major, Neil Tyson explains knowledge unlike any other public figure i've witnessed. He makes all the miserable aspects of biology become absolute gold. Not sure how he does it....Maybe it's the voice...Yup. Tyson is straight up, and tells the entire truth for people to understand. An entire generation of young people, much younger than me, will understand the most basic facts of our world, our lives. I wish i could have seen this as a young teen. It would have made a world of a difference in how I live my life. I was never a sheltered boy, but true knowledge has been hard to find. Fox is doing an amazing public service by supporting this TV series. Hopefully my generation and younger will get the picture, who knows, maybe even a few older ones too. We are at a fork in the road in human history. Either we follow our parents and grandparents ways and continue to pollute the Earth, killing all life on the planet, or we can, as a human race figure out a peaceful, logical way to save the Earth. I say save the Earth, but the Earth doesn't need saving, it will keep on living. I believe that somewhere, some boy or girl is watching COSMOS, and in the future they will figure out a way. I just hope that the education system doesn't destroy their dream first. But that's a topic for another time.

Until next time!
