From an evolutionary standpoint you can't just wipe everything out and start over, and I don't think you can do it in the school system either.
Bill Nye
Image
NASA is an engine of innovation and inspiration as well as the world's premier space exploration agency, and we are well served by politicians working to keep it that way, instead of turning it into a mere jobs program, or worse, cutting its budget.
Bill Nye
Image
If you look back on all the teachers that you liked, I am sure you will find they were very entertaining.
Bill Nye
Image
Hard to find anything lovelier than a tree. They grow at right angles to a tangent of the nominal sphere of the Earth.
Bill Nye
Image
When we explore the cosmos, we come to believe and prove that we can solve problems that have never been solved. It brings out the best in us. Space exploration imbues everyone with an optimistic view of the future.

The strange thing about grinding that might surprise many people is that you can grind things and shape them using materials that are generally somewhat softer than the thing you're grinding and shaping.

Image
The oncoming trouble I speak of is climate change. It's going to affect all of you in the same way the Second World War consumed people of my parent's generation.
Bill Nye
Image
It is my mission to change the world. I'm not kidding: Make no small plans, dream mighty things. I feel if we get enough people engaged in climate change, we will get enough people to change the world. We will revolutionize the way we produce electricity and provide clean water to people.

By the way, most of the light that comes from the sun is green.

I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, that's completely inconsistent with the world we observe, that's fine. But don't make your kids do it. Because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need engineers that can build stuff and solve problems.

Image
I've always loved airplanes and flight. The space program was really important to me as a kid. I still have a photo of Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon in my living room.
Bill Nye
Image
If you meet somebody who says he or she has never dreamed of flying, I don't believe you. I mean, they're lying.
Bill Nye
Image
I stand by my assertions that although you can know what happens to any individual species that you modify, you cannot be certain what will happen to the ecosystem. Also, we have a strange situation where we have malnourished fat people. It's not that we need more food. It's that we need to manage our food system better.

If you memorize the periodic table it will speed you up if you're a chemist, but by and large, the reason you have a periodic table is so that you can store that information outside of your body. That way it frees up some part of your brain to do something else...

I've got no problem with anybody's religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that's just wrong.
Bill Nye
Image
Religion is a completely different thing from the claim that the Earth is six thousand years old. That's just crazy.

Image
The future of commerce is going to be all electronic. The gold standard was a fine idea, but electronic changes of funds and credits will be the future.

I meet so many people who are intimidated by arithmetic.

One of the drawbacks of English is you can't spell things by hearing them.

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.
