President s it established and the legacies that left. There is a strong case to be made that november 11, the day that a battered square rigor called the mayflower made safe harbor in a place near what is today in massachusetts. That day should be one of the greatest moments in our national theory, comparable to fourth of july, independence day, and september 17, constitution day. But let me qualify that statement a little bit. As ourk of the pilgrims forebears and we are right to do so but it is important to remember they and the other new puritans that were selling new england at the time did not imagine they were settling establishing the United States of america. Nothing could have been further from their minds. They were doing something entirely different. They were about the business of establishing a place where they could enjoy a pure and uncorrupted church. The early settlers of virginia were motivated by material conside ....
A, if space command. So why are the countries hit hardest by coronavirus instead focusing on preparing for conflict among the stars . Joining me now to talk over 1000 in the new cold war space race is the western worlds most famous astrophysicist neil de grasse tyson. Neil, thanks so much for coming on. What a privilege it is before i get to any of that, i have to say, given that millions of people have watched your t. V. Programs. If there are people out there who come from disproportionately socio economically vulnerable groups. How on earth can their interest in this does translate to becoming like you, not only a communicator, but a research or an innovator when it comes to science . Thats an important question and a lot depends on what kind of, what is this system that surrounds you . So for example, there are many countries where if you spot someone who is otherwise poor, but its like reading math books and physics books and theyre right in the street doing that. There are many c ....
Provided the video. Mona siegel it is such a pleasure to collaborate with the world war i museum and i am particularly thankful to lora for making this program possible. I have about 45 minutes of stories and information i am excited to share with you. I feel that i hope you will pose any question you might have. I dont always have the answers but i will give it my best shot. The cover you are looking at there on your screen is the cover of my most recent book, peace on our terms. It is fundamentally tied to the history of world war i which makes this collaboration so important to me. My book is a snapshot of a singular moment in history. Almost exactly 100 years ago. As the world finally began exiting from the devastation of the First World War and was able to begin the dreaming and planning for the peace and the new world that would come afterwards. At this moment, i show in my book that women from farreaching and incredibly di ....
So for example, there are many countries where if you spot someone who is otherwise poor, but its like reading math books and physics books and theyre right in the street doing that. There are many countries where some will say, hey, we need to provide an opportunity for that person because 2 things are going on 1st, it would be good for the person. But deep down, you know, its better for the system if everybody rises to their potential, not only the potential that they can achieve, but the potential of their ambitions. And without a system to connect those with ambitions to where they land. Youve got nothing. And brilliant people end up staying suppress in your society. And basically at the end of the day, your society goes nowhere. Ok, why is your country doing so badly when it comes to coronavirus . I mean, i can give the obvious answers, but i think what were really after are deeper insights in to peoples conduct. And in the United ....
