Anyone see Tyson's C-SPAN2 special for his Death by a Black Hole book? It was awesome. He touched on this Apophis stuff in the Q&A and said the same thing about deflecting it. He also described what it would be like if Apophis went through the keyhole and impacted off the west coast of the US. It sounds awesome!

wtf you talking about? deGrasse Tyson is massively knowledgeable about the Universe. Have you read any of his many papers? Or books? Or are you just some closet bigot spouting off racist remarks over the anonymity of YouTube? I'm leaning towards the latter. Go away douchebag.

Another black crackpot physicist who got were he his by affirmative action. What a piece of crap. Blacks worship him like he's the greatest astrophysicist, meanwhile he's just average.
