Neil DeGrasse Tyson Urges America To Challenge China To a Space Race

An anonymous reader writes: According to a Tuesday story in the UK edition of the International Business Times, Neil deGrasse Tyson, the celebrity astrophysicist and media personality, advocates a space race between the United States and China. The idea is that such a race would spur innovation and cause industry to grow. The Apollo race to the moon caused a similar explosive period of scientific research and engineering development.

Stop smoking the anti-religion defeatist crack and get up and do something. Or is it too hot outside and mommy's basement is so nice and cool and dark?
