• Why are you using Bill Nye as authority? He's a TV host.

If you want to use Bill Nye as an authority on the subject, here's a blog post saying that Neil Armstrong landed on the moon:

"With all this, he landed the Lunar Excursion Module (your LEM) on the Moon"

You can't have it both ways

• That quote from Bill Nye is an example of quote mining. He was asked if dumping our trash into space would be a good idea. (Start at 2:20)

"Now one thing I really want your generation to embrace, the Earth is a closed system, we cannot leave the earth, there's no place to go, there's no place to throw your trash."

The context of the quote was chopped off from the video (how dishonest). He explained it's too expensive and too dangerous to shoot trash into space, that it's going to remain here, and maybe one day future generations will be able to mine the landfills. Then at the end he says 'I may be wrong, I always may be wrong."
