“At least once a week, if not once a day, we might each ponder what cosmic truths lie undiscovered before us, perhaps awaiting the arrival of a clever thinker, an ingenious experiment, or an innovative space mission to reveal them. We might further ponder how those discoveries may one day transform life on Earth.”
~Neil Tyson

I’d seen a clip from this interview in that song: Symphony of Science – The Poetry of Reality but I didn’t know the context, thanks.
