Reflection Paper:

Stephen Colbert a comedian, author and host of the Colbert Report is both one of
the funniest and possibly the bravest comedians of their time. His performance at
the national press club dinner in 2007 as he stood just a few feet from the
President of the United States known the as the most powerful man in the world.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist, Director of the Hayden Planetarium,


author of nine books, teacher, lecturer, host of Nova's four-part series "Origins"
and member of two presidential commissions on United States aerospace industry
and the future of our country's space exploration. Dr. Tyson has a gift for working
successfully within the realms of research, education, and policy formation.

"Who we are is what we know, right? Part of who we are is what we know and our
identity is often based on how we see the world, yes, and uh... personality for sure
and if we learn something that does not jive with how we think about the world
won't we have to reexamine who we are?"

"I am become death, destroyer of worlds". Reality says that everyone can be
death, destroyer of the world but still we are the only one can restore, maintain
and change the world for its better.

Expectation is really different with the reality. We always expect for something but
we don't do it in reality.

From this interview, honestly I am confused for all the revelation that Dr. Tyson
reveals. Too much information but a little bit bored. As a typical student who
were not interested for such topic does not really exist in reality but still I am
amazed for the information I've got here. This interview tells us so many topics
and information.
