MarkWhittington writes: Bill Nye, the former science guy and current head of the Planetary Society, is very depressed about NASA and NASCAR, according to a story in Business Insider. He believes that the red-state yokels pay too much attention to NASCAR, which employs gas guzzling cars in races, and not enough to NASA, which employs cutting edge and environmentally correct technology, to explore the universe. However, it is a meme that the space agency itself once disagreed with. Indeed, NASA has suggested that the exploration of space is like NASCAR only with rocket ships instead of souped up, high powered cars

Honestly this feels no different than those idiots on the TBN channel that poo poo anything that they feel distracts people from worshiping their god. Science aside, this kind of shit (telling people to stop enjoying any unrelated activities) DOES make the whole climate change issue feel indistinguishable from a religion.
