One of Bill Nye's top priorities is maintaining support for a mission to bring a sample of Martian rock back to Earth
NASA's planetary science missions also received $2.7 billion in the fiscal 2020 appropriations bill.
“We have all kinds of problems here on Earth, oh my goodness," he says. But space brings out the best in us. Space is optimistic. If you stop looking up and out, what does that say about you? Whatever it is, it’s not good.” Geologists want to look at the molecules, the minerals, the crystalline structure. The next mission will pick them up. That’s a European rover that goes by the name Fetch. … After Fetch, the hard thing is … the Mars Ascent Vehicle. We’ve launched stuff off of the moon, we’ve launched stuff off of asteroids. In fact it’s hard to keep things on asteroids there’s so little gravity. But getting off Mars, you’re going to need a lot of fuel to get into orbit.
No one else can explore Mars or drive around on Mars. There’s all this talk about landing there with people, but it’s all because somebody mapped it using tax dollars. Someone explored it with tax dollars. That’s the way it should be. NASA does what no one else can do, that’s why we fund it. People make a very strong argument that you wouldn’t have the internet without the space program. You certainly wouldn’t have a weather forecast.
