"I try to always take a new, fresh perspective on who and what we are," said Neil deGrasse Tyson before repeating his point about Star Trek's Enterprise being better than Star Wars's Millennium Falcon on Conan earlier this week.

This isn't the first time the famed scientist has weighed in on the relative merits of these fictional spacecraft. Back in December, Tyson became the four billionth person talking about Star Wars by addressing the exact same question.

"There are real scientists and real engineers on staff [who are] on the ship, monitoring its engines, its warpdrive and photon torpedoes," he said at the time. "It is the first-ever spaceship represented in storytelling that was not designed to go from one place to another — it was only designed to explore."
