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.

BILL NYEAlong with the evidence of common sense, researchers have proven scientifically that humans are all one people. We’re a lot like dogs in that regard. If a Great Dane interacts (can we say interact?) with a Chihuahua, you get a dog.
BILL NYEEvolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science, in all of biology. The key to our being here now is time, 4.54 billion (Earth) years of time.
BILL NYEI hope next generation will emerge and produce technology, regulations, and a worldview that enable as many of us as possible to live happy healthy lives.
BILL NYEClimate change is a real deal. So, hey deniers – cut it out, and let’s get to work.
BILL NYEThe 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 NYEI want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on.
BILL NYEThink how fortunate we are to know this much. But think also of all that’s yet to be discovered. Here’s hoping the deep answers to the deep questions-from the nature of consciousness to the origin of life-will be found in not too much more time.
BILL NYEOne of the drawbacks of English is you can’t spell things by hearing them.
BILL NYETeaching creationism in science class as an alternative to evolution is inappropriate.
BILL NYEWe should educate more women and girls. Because that is the surest route to controllably, manageably reducing the human population.
BILL NYEThere are just two people entitled to refer to themselves as “we”; one is the editor and the other is the fellow with a tapeworm.
BILL NYEThe US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don’t fool with that.
BILL NYEI am so old, I entered engineering school with a slide rule. And I left engineering school with a calculator. I can still use a slide rule but it’s not a skill you especially need anymore.
BILL NYEWhen we see the shadow on our images, are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It’s like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now; when was then?
BILL NYEThe debate [in Undeniable] was nominally about creationism as a “viable” explanation for what we observe around us. For my side, the debate went very well; I’m not sure what I would change, although I can imagine shortening my answers during the rebuttals, perhaps.
