Neil deGrasse Tyson: How to Blow Up a Planet

When a fan asks Neil deGrasse Tyson what would happen to our Solar System if the Death Star from Star Wars blew up Mars, Neil goes one step further and explains to Eugene Mirman the physics of how you might actually go about blowing up a planet. (If you're planning a career as an evil genius, mad scientist or cosmic conqueror, you may want to take notes.)
