0:00.0	Really, you think I need to introduce today's guest?
0:06.0	Nailed the Gras Tyson.
0:08.0	Only the most famous scientist,
0:10.0	maybe in human history by a number of searches and the prominence that he has and the impact he's had on the universe.
0:17.0	There's really no one better to host on the Into the Impossible podcast and Neil truly showed up with all cylinders firing.
0:26.4	It's a really wide-ranging interview that discussed his life, his tactics and

1:31.0	subscribe to my mailing list if you want to hear them now at least
1:35.3	while you're watching this video on YouTube. Otherwise you can wait about a month I'll post him up there
