    I don’t remember in the 1960s commemorating anything that happened fifty years earlier, in the 1910s.

        @neiltyson It's hard to commemorate polio and trench warfare. Easier to think fondly on free love and the Beatles.

        @neiltyson 1910s were pretty disease-ridden. Not much to celebrate.
