YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this conversation, Bill Nye, Chuck Nice, and Casey Dreier — Chief of Space Policy at The Planetary Society — discuss NASA’s budget, the political motivations behind funding cuts, and the deeper importance of supporting space exploration. They explore how scientific missions, from studying climate change to launching spacecraft, rely on policy decisions, and why reducing NASA’s already tiny budget threatens discovery, innovation, and our understanding of the cosmos.
