I don't want people memorizing the planets or counting how many plants there are in the world. But I want them to know that the world is 4.56 billion years old, and I want them to know how we know it is 4.56 billion years old. It's wonderful and exciting, and it creates a reverence for nature. When I see people reject all that, it's kind of creepy.

I hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world's energy problems, energy distribution problems. I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on.

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 -
To exclude kids in formal education from science is bad for everybody.
Bill Nye -
My father was a very good Boy Scout. He was very skilled with knots, and he showed me how to tie a bow tie.
Bill Nye -
Everyone, red state, blue state, everyone supports space exploration.
Bill Nye -
We want to get young people excited about inventing so they'll be future inventors, and change the world.
Bill Nye -
You don’t need a PhD in climate science to understand what’s going on, that we have overwhelming evidence that the climate is changing. That you cannot tie any one event to that is not the same as doubt about the whole thing.

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 -
When Rush Limbaugh says I'm not a scientist, I'm charmed - I smirk.
Bill Nye -
I might be trying to change the world, but I also better be funny while I'm doing it. I've never lost sight of that.
Bill Nye -
There is good evidence that Venus once had liquid water and a much thinner atmosphere, similar to Earth billions of years ago. But today the surface of Venus is dry as a bone, hot enough to melt lead, there are clouds of sulfuric acid that reach a hundred miles high and the air is so thick it's like being 900 meters deep in the ocean.
Bill Nye -
There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.
Bill Nye -
If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it's game over. It's control-alt-delete for civilization.

I used to play ultimate Frisbee, and I just got a reputation for making popcorn at parties. I don't mean to brag on myself, but I make the popcorn in the pot, and it comes out fine every time.
Bill Nye -
What makes the United States great, the reason people wanted to live in the United States, move here still, is because of our ability to innovate.
Bill Nye -
You stop planetary exploration, those people who do that extraordinary work are going to have to go do something else.
Bill Nye -
But investment in space stimulates society, it stimulates it economically, it stimulates it intellectually, and it gives us all passion.
Bill Nye -
Science rules!
Bill Nye -
'The problem is we have this thin atmosphere and a lot of people trying to breathe it. It's this thinness of the atmosphere that has allowed humankind to accidentally change the climate of the planet.
Bill Nye

What we want to do is not just less, but do more for less. I want the United States to lead the world in this. The more we mess around with this denial, the more we lose.'
Bill Nye -
Without clouds we wouldn't have rain. Without rain there is no water, no crops and no food for you and me. Humans would not exist without the sun, heat, water and oxygen from plants.
Bill Nye -
A two-and-a-half-year-old is pretty experienced at making a mess, anyway.
Bill Nye -
When people start rejecting the fundamental understanding of the world that scientific process brings you, well, that's bad in my opinion.
