Answer: C.Tyson presents humans as powerless against the forces of nature, while Collins presents an individual creating his own destiny.
In the first excerpt, Tyson describes what would happen to a human body as it falls feet-first towards the center of a black hole. His description is bleak, and it shows the human as powerless against such strong forces. The second passage, however, is a lot more positive about the possibility of human action. The passage places the man at the center of the cosmos, and as the recipient of all hope. It shows that the individual has enough agency to create his own destiny.
