Last week, Tyson delivered this keynote address at the 28th National Space Symposium. It’s over an hour long if you include his 15-minute intro and the Q&A session towards the end, but it’s definitely worth the watch – especially if you’re already familiar with Tyson’s tendency to link America’s space-faring ambitions to its economic, scientific and technological ones.

Here, Tyson takes a slightly different angle in order to examine space exploration’s spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and creative consequences, or, as he puts it, “space as culture.” The result is a refreshing, relatable, and inspirational take on a topic well worth your time and consideration.
