Neil deGrasse Tyson

Just saw "Rise of Planet of The Apes." It portrays a wholly unrealistic future in which we send a manned mission to Mars. http://twitter.com/#!/neiltyson/status/102198188370432000

1. he was Bill Maher's show recently

And not only is he very smart, he proved that he is very thoughtful and inspirational. His words about how our country is so short-sighted and close-minded had me near to tears. I wish he would run for office.

I haven't seen that movie, so I can't comment on that. But I loved the original one, even with Charleton Heston. :)

2. Saw it last night for free

The mars mission was just a small side story and had no Bering on the plot.
The movie was better than I thought it would be but still unbelievable clinch
Glad it was free .I wouldn't pay to see it His humor was right on.

5. Was Heston in the original Rise of the Planet of the Apes?

I don't remember him in any but the first in the original series.
I do remember Roddy McDowell in it though. He was the go-to chimp for that series, wasn't he?
