I posted this at Theo Spark in response to this video.

Right. We can't dream about the future without a government department to point the way. What a load.

Listen to Obama - what do you hear? That nothing gets done without the government doing it. That's totalitarianism. It sure as hell isn't freedom. And this bozo is saying the same thing.

Tyson is being picked as the new "Carl Sagan". I believe it. Sagan was one of the first to really push for the politicization of science. His nuclear winter scenario was the father of global warming. James Hansen OF NASA has been a huge influence in the AGW movement.

The one thing NASA does great is PR as this video shows. What they really are is another wasteful government department.

You don't have to have NASA to dream about a modern future - you just have to kick the malthusians and Marxists off the college campus and bring in the technologists and free market capitalists instead. Then you'd see some real dreaming and some real accomplishments.
