Neil deGrasse Tyson appeared on Conan O’Brien last night where the popular astrophysicst geeked out over Superman and Star Wars.
Regarding Superman, Tyson told Conan about the time he met Superman — in an issue of DC Comics.
And for Star Wars, Tyson started off explaining how he often tries to look at the human race from an alien perspective, mentioning how strange aliens would think of kissing – and then went on to state Star Wars fans are “prickly” in regards to his thoughts about Star Trek’s Enterprise being able to “wipe its ass” with the Millennium Falcon.
