aliens, planet Voca, music The Voca people are 8 friendly aliens from the planet Voca, a musical planet that has no verbal communication but use vocal expressions only.

I used to hate Neil deGrasse Tyson, I found his presentation to be somehow disingenuous, but I've grown to respect, if not like him. He's clearly very dedicated to bringing science, and astronomy in particular, to the masses. After seeing his role in the second video, I realize that I feel a bit sorry to him because he is so dedicated to his work that when he gets a call to come on a daytime talk show to discuss a made up planet, he does it. Simply so he can throw in a little fact: we've discovered hundreds of planets outside our solar system. I wouldn't wish daytime TV on my worst enemy.

Disingenuous how? I don't hate him per se but I do hate listening to him because he's a terrible public speaker.

As for the Vocae: Blue Man meets Swingles and I claim my pentatonic scale.

I'm just sad they didn't bring in Jack Horkheimer as the astronomical expert.
