        @neiltyson sorry to be pedantic but it was Great Britain that did the colonising, not "England". #UnitedKingdom.

        @neiltyson so the whole observing Venus thing was just a cover story?

        @barefoot_LS @neiltyson Not entirely a cover. Observation of transit of Venus was important, but Cook was sent to kill 2 birds w/ 1 stone.
