Sad Neil deGrasse Tyson's New Year's Eve observation

By 2015, Apollo 11 will be as long ago as 1923 was to the Moon landing itself. And I don’t know what we have to show for it.

@neiltyson We've peered billions of years into the past, we've discovered nearly 1,000 confirmed exoplanets, just in 1 small patch of sky…

@neiltyson we've had continuous human presence in Earth orbit for >14 yrs now, and continuous robotic presence on Mars for nearly 11 yrs…

@neiltyson we've discovered that the closest Earth-like planet is right next door to us (Mars), although off by a few billion years or so…

@neiltyson we know more about the Sun than any time before, we have stunning closeup images of Jupiter & Saturn, & we're about to see Pluto

@neiltyson and… we even have a spacecraft that has flown into interstellar space. No moon base yet, but not too bad, I'd say. 🙂

.@neiltyson C'mon man! Rosetta! Hubble! Cassini! All the Mars rovers! The ISS! No people out there, but that doesn't mean no progress.

@neiltyson we have a huge fleet of satellites monitoring the Earth and climate change.

@neiltyson … He says from a $1000 device with more computing power than the entire world that launched Apollo 11.

@neiltyson We didn't fund a large scale effort to colonize space and therefore we saved up tons of money. Oh wait…
