Hello, Bill Nye here. I first got excited
about space when I saw the Moon through
a telescope that belonged to my father's
scoutmaster. It was an old telescope made of
cardboard. This the cardboard you used
for casting concrete pilings. I remember
the smell. But when I saw the Moon through this
telescope, I saw the craters. I had
the Galilean moment that this perfect
circle's not perfect at all, instead it's
this extraordinary world with all these
extraordinary shapes, and who knows what goes
on there kind of thing. I stayed
interested in space because I'm of a
certain age and I grew up with the space
program and the creation of NASA and
landing on the Moon and so on. The thing
that intrigues me right now is finding
life on another world. If we were to find
life on Mars or Europa it would change the
course of human history in the same way
Galileo did. I hope you'll join us and
together we can change the worlds.
