The Great Neil deGrasse Tyson and Cosmos

I see that Cosmos is getting a reboot. Cosmos was very influential to me as I was growing up, and I'm happy to see it modernized. Of course I get nervous that it's going to be done right.



Looks like it may be promising with Ann Druyan on board. I'm not sure how well Neil Tyson can fill Carl Sagan's shoes though. I've always more or less agreed with what he says. But there's always this aire of The Second Comming that seems to surround him like with

And the survey says: Neil deGrasse Tyson is the best living science communicator



Ever since I've first seen him there's this vibe that he is simply the greatest, and I don't really get why? That kind of introduction suits an evangelist more, and that's certainly NOT what we're going for. Carl Sagan was in the trenches as we first explored our solar system up close. What has Tyson done? As far as science communicators, Brian Greene, Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Morgan Freeman (suprisingly good considering he's not a scientist), Neil is ok. Just wondering why people often feel the need to build him up?
