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.

I'll admit that the discovery of evolution is humbling, but it is also empowering. It transforms our relationship to the life around us. Instead of being outsiders watching the natural world go by, we are insiders. We are part of the process we are the exquisite result of billions of years of natural research and development.

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.

History is but the record of the public and official acts of human beings. It is our object, therefore, to humanize our history and deal with people past and present people who ate and possibly drank people who were born, flourished and died not grave tragedians, posing perpetually for their photographs.

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.

Intuitively you want some place [such as your phone] to store phone numbers, so you have that part of your brain to do other tasks.

A two-and-a-half-year-old is pretty experienced at making a mess, anyway.

Talk about science with everyone you meet. Especially talk about climate change. It needs to become a part of our everyday conversation (the way it is everywhere else in the world).
Bill Nye
Image
There is no debate in the scientific community...We need [Congress] to change things, not to deny what's happening.

The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.

The thing about a theory in science is it allows you make predictions. Evolutionary theory allows us to predict what apples will taste good next harvest.
Bill Nye

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.

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.
