If you’re even a little bit curious about our planet or the stars above us then you know who Neil Degrasse Tyson is. The astrophysicist, author and science advocate inspires millions about the wonders of the universe and fuels our curiosity about our place in the cosmos. Be sure to check out his latest book Cosmic Queries: StarTalk's Guide to Who We Are, How We Got Here, and Where We're Going.

He joins Cari to discuss his journey from a kid growing up in the bronx to the international science communicator he has become, and director of the famous Hayden Planetarium. Plus, his love of science and how his average grades did not dictate what he wanted to do with his life. Most importantly Neil talks about keeping up your momentum no matter what hurdle comes your way, always keeping your fuel tank of ambition full and never stop asking questions.
