“When NASA makes discoveries they are profound and they make headlines, everyone takes notice. It drives dialogue and, today, it would drive the blogosphere.

You wouldn't need programs to try to convince people that science literacy is good. Because they're going to want to participate on this epic adventure that we call space exploration.” PeopleWantNeedsTryingKidsTodaySchoolSpaceAdventureProjectsDiscoveryProgramProfoundCuriosityDialogueConvinceExplorationEpicLiteracyHeadlinesSpace ExplorationNasaScience Literacy Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
