Why we need NASA!

I have made the case in the past that NASA is important to our understanding of science and how the universe works, oh and that it is just cool as well. Well Neil deGrasse Tyson (Twitter and Facebook), a great popularizer of science in general and space in particular (oh and also an Astrophysicist), has been saying similar things, although much more elegantly than I, and that trend apparently continued this year at TAM. This video was put together by pointmanzero using some amazing images of space and Tyson's speech from TAM and it is quite moving and even without seeing him you can tell how much Dr. Tyson loves this stuff.
