1. The Tyson video describes the impact of space exploration has on the world culture. The video provides several evidences showing the importance of space. I would use this video as a source for the vetted bibliography. Even though the source is not in written form, it still has a strong basis and argument. It provides support for the paper to argue the issues surrounding modern space travel. 2. The purpose of the video is to emphasize the significance of space exploration and continue to provide space curiosity towards the nation. I believe that the video touched in every one of these ways. It wants to persuade people to alter their thinking of what space really is and initiate change for the space program. It informed the reader of how from space exploration, motivated change for the earth’s future and the statistics of the space programs now. 3. If I wrote a paper that argued against support of space travel, I do not believe that I would be able to use the video as a source. Maybe I could use the statistics of NASA’s budget and how significantly small it is. Other than that, I do not believe that it would be a good source. On the other hand, if I were arguing in support of contemporary space travel, this video would be a worthy source. The video does a magnificent job reiterating change and action for the space programs. 4. The video was published on YouTube on June 3, 2012. It would matter to my topic whether the source is current. I believe so because the issues facing modern space travel are recent and so, the support for the paper needs to be current as well. If the source did not contain current information, a consequence to my credibility would be quite exacting. 5. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist and science communicator. He was born and raised in NYC and went to the Bronx High School of Science. He earned his BA in Physics at Harvard and his PH.D in astrophysics at
