Tyson responded to some of B.o.B's tweets with corrections. In response to one that said you shouldn't be able to see the New York City skyline from Harriman State Park's Bear Mountain, Tyson tweeted that the city would be blocked if the buildings in Manhattan weren't tall enough to be seen.
@bobatl Earth's curve indeed blocks 150 (not 170) ft of Manhattan. But most buildings in midtown are waaay taller than that.
