Sad that there are so few comments out of that many that are actually worth reading.

I thought some of them were quite funny.

And btw its not Hacker News :)

That's about how the last one went too. I think it hit nearly 10k comments.

EDIT: Yes it did hit 10k, Here's the previous IAMAs with him

I just spent 20 minutes writing up a question that was important to me (would you become a public supporter of Copenhagen Suborbitals, working towards sending a man into space) only to see it being lost in a sea of questions.

I think to myself "I'm spending too much time on Reddit looking at stupid stuff" so I come to HN for some highbrow articles and see a link to Reddit of Neil deGrasse Tyson doing an AMA :/ ...back to Reddit.

"The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.

For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you." -- NdGT

Probably the best thing I've heard in a while. I love when he does these AMA's.
