CBS This Morning had Neil deGrasse Tyson on to talk about SpaceX's flight and Inspiration Mars:

The interesting bit is that Tyson has moved away from his position from a few years ago that private companies and organizations will only stay in LEO. As much as I admire what Tyson does for education his past pronouncements about what business can do in space is another example of how being an expert in one field doesn't make you one in another. Lets hope the stream of assumption busting businesses continues. Or maybe Tyson will go get his MBA?
