Quotation of the Day for March 8, 2013



"Yes, that's the macho solution is you pull one of your missiles out of the silo that have been sitting there doing nothing since the Cold War and you blow the sucker out of the sky. The problem is, I mean, here in America, we're really good at blowing stuff up and less good at knowing where the pieces land, you know."

- Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist, commenting on the idea of blowing up an asteroid that threatened to collide with Earth.
