Neil deGrasse TysonGUEST
39:37
It was like, my God, did we leave anything out? But they're all organized.
Neil deGrasse TysonGUEST
39:42
I mean, it's a joint publication between my podcast, StarTalk, and National Geographic Books, and they don't know ugly, okay? Yeah.
Neil deGrasse TysonGUEST
39:53
The book is completely gorgeous.
Dan HarrisHOST
39:55
Yeah, it's like an IV drip of awe, which is the spirit.
Neil deGrasse TysonGUEST
40:14
Yeah.
Neil deGrasse TysonGUEST
40:14
And I would say that You can obviously Google 5,000 facts, but that's not what this book is.
Neil deGrasse TysonGUEST
40:21
The stock and trade of what we do on StarTalk is putting a fact in a context where it has meaning to you such that you will never forget it.
Neil deGrasse TysonGUEST
40:34
So in one example, we can say, you know, you can Google how wide is the sun and it'll come back 865,000 miles across.
TomHOST
35:56
Like so much of it has like realistic concepts and properties that could potentially happen.
TomHOST
36:01
But I know he said he took some certain liberties, but listening to him talk, and I would encourage you, I think it's like a StarTalk radio podcast or something like that with Neil deGrasse Tyson, where they do deep dives on the science in it.
TomHOST
36:13
It is very, very fascinating to hear people that are just brilliant in their fields talk about what they're passionate about.
JulianHOST
36:19
Right.

So I think that's the prequel is Rocky sabotaging Grace's ship multiple times so that he can't leave the planet.
TomHOST
44:26
Now, I don't know if this is what it's going to be, but I believe that there is talks of, Andy, we're doing a sequel to this book.
TomHOST
44:33
Because I think there's some things, I think it was on that StarTalk podcast where they were talking about why did the bodies of his crewmates decompose essentially at different rates? Because one seemed to be almost kind of shrunken and decomposed, where another one seems like they had just kind of woken up.
TomHOST
44:50
And he was like coy with the answer to potentially maybe have it be something in a follow-up book to this.
