I was watching Neil deGrasse Tyson the other day on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He's the guy from the show called NOVA on PBS. I was impressed by how sincere and enthusiastic he was about science and space. His article about the need to explore space appeared on last weekend Parade Magazine. I really like the bit he talked about "the urge to dream and the will to enable it."
When you go to countries without such ambitions working within their culture, you feel the absence of hope. Due to all manner of politics, economics and geography, people are reduced to worrying only about that day’s shelter or the next day’s meal. It’s a shame, even a tragedy, how many people don’t get to think about the future. Technology coupled with wise leadership not only solves these problems but also enables dreams of tomorrow.
