Bill Nye and Exploration | StarTalk

we’re talking about going into space in
a big way maybe even going to Mars
already there we got the Curiosity rover
but for some people that’s just not
enough for some people like my good
friend Bill Nye he wants to send people
there let’s find out why for me it’s all
about exploration just going out there
and seeing what’s up up there in space
space is where we seek answers to those
two deep questions where did we all come
from and are we alone in the cosmos
we’re talking about looking for signs of
life on another world now the next
logical place to look is the planet Mars
oh we’ve sent spacecraft to be sure
plenty of them but what our very best
robotic spacecraft can do in a week a
human Explorer does in about a minute so
we have to go and the sooner the better
now since humans are doing the exploring
will make discoveries and we’ll have an
adventure we’ll bring our joy and our
fear will also bring our art in the old
days we celebrated the singing cowboy as
he rode the range along a new frontier
well now we have a singing astronaut who
takes us on his adventure along a new
frontier the edge of space beyond the
new horizon you can never sit that guy
down we chasing them all over the city
