The current CEO of The Planetary Society is Bill Nye, widely recognized as “Bill Nye the Science Guy.” He has played a significant role in promoting science education and fostering public interest in space exploration through his work as a scientist, educator, and media personality. He often appears on livestreams of important NASA missions and broadcasts to explain the mission and what is happening, to the public.
As of January, 2024, Sol’s ownership (the Owner of the company) is now supporting The Planetary Society financially and is a member of it. Though we have practically zero available money right now, it is important for not just us, but for you to support such important organizations which see beyond national borders, far into the potential-filled future, where humanity is thriving beyond Earth.
