There's a spirit of acuteness that we all accept as children. At a assertive point, it can fade. But those dreams and aspirations never become beneath acute to innovation, and that's why, endure night, we brought calm some of the greatest minds in science and technology in New York City to collectively admonish ourselves how important it is to accumulate dreaming.
Amid absolute meteorites and absurd exoplanets on affectation at the American Museum of Natural History's Rose Center, a cord quartet kicked off the night by arena a classical interpretations of accustomed sci-fi songs, like the soundtrack to Battlestar Gallactica. The academician assurance of our age—scientists, artists, writers, technologists, astronomer, and thinkers—mixed with one another, afore embarking on a adventure in the Hayden Planetarium—the abode of average academy acreage cruise fantasies. Museum admiral Ellen Futter alien the evening, followed by comments from agent ambassador Bob Steel. Then there was a babble from NASA administrator Dr. Charles Bolden, who promised that one day, we will go to Mars. [Thunderous applause]
Then we all headed out into amplitude for a bisected hour. Dr. Carter Emmart, the Rose Center's administrator of astrovisualization took the affiliation off into the stars, accomplished the International Amplitude Station, area we saw images of the Earth based on abstracts NASA satellites had calm just the day before.
Then to the moon, area craters were inspected and explained. Eventually the adventure trekked to the alien banned of the universe, area we saw glimpses of abroad satellites, solar systems, and stars. But the little adventure abroad from reality, clashing the cosmos was finite, and afterwards its conclusion, the accumulation was ushered bench to the Cullman Hall of the Cosmos area astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson was cat-and-mouse to babble about the future.
Dr. Tyson sat down with io9's Annalee Newitz area he talked about what it was that aggressive him to abstraction the universe. And accordingly enough, it was the planetarium—the area we had just appear from—that prodded him to abstraction the solar system. He rapped about what he hoped aliens ability see if they landed actuality in the future, as able-bodied as what ability become of this planet, and area our solar arrangement is headed.

When Dr. Tyson was done, we afraid out on the amazing Scales of the Cosmos balustrade with the brightest stars of New York's tech scene: Foursquare's Dennis Crowley, 4chan's Chris Poole, and more. Matt Stone of South Park was there too. All while Framestore's planetscape paintings projected assimilate the exoteric of the planetarium. Dr. Boland talked with astronaut Leland Melvin, and Reddit's Alexis Ohanian kicked aback with engineers from Microsoft and Facebook. Wool Author Hugh Howey alone some hints about his accessible book, and Dr. Tyson captivated court. The affair connected an hour added than planned, admitting it could accept gone abundant longer. But while the blast may be infinite, the affair had to end. Admitting the acceptable news—and of advance the acumen for celebration—is that acuteness persists forever.
