From my experience, most people love science when it’s presented in an entertaining and understandable way. See the major success of Sagan’s series and many, many others. Check out the popularity of MythBusters for example. And not that long ago PBS ran a program on dogs and their evolutionary history with humans. I saw people talking about that on all kinds of blogs and elsewhere. This is the way to get people interested in science and to teach concepts.

People love exploding things. Especially if they’re an American. We love blowing stuff up.

I’m really surprised it’s not in the Bill of Rights.

The enjoyability of really big explosions being universal, the right of the people to blow their own random crap up, providing they hurt neither themselves nor their neighbors, shall not be abridged.
