Carl Sagan : Pale Blue Dot video
Edited on Mon Apr-07-08 08:30 PM by nytemare
This is a wonderful video someone made to the audio book of Pale Blue Dot.

Still sad that Carl is no longer with us.

1. Very cool.
He was like Asimov -- he could explain science to the ordinary person and make it fun and interesting.

The first book of his that I read was The Dragons of Eden.

2. Very cool
"For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

"Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people."
