I’m not gonna mention names since I don’t mean to offend anyone or cause anything negative here, and I think almost anyone can figure it out. I’m talking about the people, especially Americans, (what I meant by “us.” I’m of Salvadoran descent, but an American) who don’t want to listen to scientists and facts. They don’t want to wear masks, and they often don’t care about social distancing. I think they say that they violate their Constitutional rights and just make common courtesy, and logical health precautions political, when it really shouldn’t be.

      The root of the problem stems from the education system. Remember when you were at school? Most people dreaded studying or fell asleep during class. If we grew up with negative experiences with education, guess what happens? We create a society that has many people who are uninspired or uneducated about many things in the world; who also cannot tell garbage from fact. Imagine if all teachers in the world are like Neil, who inspire and make learning fun. I bet we will see society as a whole become smarter and inspired about learning.

    "Will people listen to scientists?" The question I've been asking for decades in this country. Reporting from researchers invariably get drowned out by corporate disinformation, and inevitably public safety suffers - whether it's from Coroavirus or climate change. If a society wants to survive it shouldn't dismiss what scientists report.

      And as for the original comment. Will people listen to the scientists??? Well people will listen and then discern truth from lies, you see many of us have been spinning on this rock for long enough that this "global climate threat" is not the first time we have heard this. The fear mongering works great the first time, but it doesnt do so well the second. We learn to look at the indicators, heres a good one. If the earth is heating up and the ocean is going to swallow up mass swaths of land near the ocean, then why is waterfront property in New York, la, Miami and elsewhere not vacated and being sold for pennies on the dollar? These places are ran by the people you agree with, why did the former president who signed the Paris climate accord spend millions on a waterfront property after signing it? He cant read the science? He doesnt understand the ocean is going to swallow up his multimillion dollar mansion? Or is it something else? Having been down this track before when it was al gore who was driving the pace car in this race to stupidity... I'm here to say... it's something else.

      If the asteroid was actually going to become a meteorite, I feel like two things would happen: a massive coverup would occur to try to prevent mass panic, and NASA would actually get a half decent budget to try to figure out, within a month and a half, how to stop it from happening.

      We go to space because it's impossible to learn more about the universe and our place in it if we don't. Earth-based instruments and sensors have reached the limit of resolution in most fields of measurement. Too much atmosphere in the way, too much electromagnetic interference from the earth itself and our presence upon it. Some great leaps were taken once we started sending telescopes and experiments into space, we need to keep doing so.

      You should still ask yourself that. Plants and animals have built this earth along with fire and water, for how long now? We just started going to space over 50 years ago. If going to space was so important, how has the entirety of earth's eco system survived this long without going to space? Neil knows his knowledge is not a survival skill. In a way, none if the things he says even matters. Were just like "omg, this guy is so smart" but if a rock the size of Everest did indeed wipe most of us out, and he survived that by preparing ahead of time... does he have the skills to forage for food, or build his own shelter? They should make a "cast away" sequel of Neil deserted on land, where he admits that his space studies was completely useless and he should of learned survival skills instead
