I evy you to have had the possibility to be together with Carl Sagan.. He was a great astronomer - and a man who also could explain some of the mysteries of the stars - to a 8 year old child with a fascination for the stars... I also saw the Cosmos series who I had to beg and beg to be allowed to se - as I was just 8 and the series was aired late, often on a school night... My fasination for all things in the universe I belive started with Cosmos (the book) and the series - and even though Im little less interesting in the stars today than I was when I was 8 - Im still interested in the stars - and I for one envy the ones who in the future wil be able to travel to the stars - and look at the all for themself... We are just standing at the shores - and looking out of the universe, wondering what is out there - to paraphrase Carl Sagan...
It just must have been a joy to be able to listen to that man for hours at the time.. I hope he was a interesting man to listen to...
