Three Questions for Neil deGrasse Tyson
Imagine sitting on a couch with astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, and you can ask him three questions. What would you ask?

Self-Driving Uber
The first shot in the self-driving car wars has been fired. Ride-sharing service Uber is launching a fleet of self-driving taxis in Pittsburgh, and The Verge got a chance to try them out. Andrew Hawkins took a ride around the Steel City, with no hands on the wheel and no feet on the pedals.

Plastic Bottle Village
The average human can use 14,400 plastic bottles over the course of an eighty-year lifetime. Much of this waste ends up in the world's oceans, where it is a severe threat to fish and birds. On the island of Bocas Del Toro in Panama, Robert Bezeau is hoping to reduce discarded plastic bottles by using them in the construction of a village. Robert has collected over 1 million bottles, and a two-story home can use as many as 15,000 of them as insulation. MEL Films talks with Robert about his vision and follows a couple about to move into their first plastic bottle home.

H. R. Giger's Beautiful Monster
Ridley Scott's Alien has become one of the most iconic movie monsters in history. The abstract industrial design of painter H. R. Giger changed the way we thought about traditional Earth-bound creatures, creating something entirely new and other-worldly. The artist was even brought in on the film to bring his work to life himself. Somehow, knowing that the exoskeleton was made of real bones and an actual human skull was in the tip of its head, ups the creep factor even more.
