What is past is prologue. We don't need new geniuses, we are mostly unfamiliar with our past as it is... Von Mises,Hayek, Bastiat, Coase , Buchanan et al have paved the road to prosperity so geniuses can thrive and contribute. Sadly geniuses today are creatures of regulatory capture and politics.

In my opinion he doesn't belong in the same realm as Gates, Musk or Hawking.

Luckily people like von Braun, Oppenheimer and Einstien weren't subjected to politics in their day.

We are about to send the most advanced satellite into outer orbit. It will expand our knowledge more than any point in the past. These guys working on launch, testing, and overall design have to be up there.

I really believe in what Musk is pursuing. Can he pull it off? Probably not. If he does though..... He will be the next Einstein/Tesla.

Tyson is simply an effective communicator. There is nothing special about him in his own field. Just a fantastic salesman for science.

Musk's idea of sending people to Mars will never happen with real human beings. They will send robots with a uploaded human conscious that will make its own decisions. This will happen

Elon Musk fits the bill. I'm tempted to throw Michio Kaku in there.

shite being a genius is no big deal we have at least 3 onTD me, Slow and Circus
but I digress
people that make a leap in thinking science, engineering, politics, philosophy etc. are the ones that leave their mark

He's highly intelligent, sure, but what breakthroughs has he made besides effectively spreading passion for science in the public? I'm not dissing him, we need people like Tyson, but he's no Einstein or Tesla. That's the bar I'm measuring.
