Carl Sagan - A Personal Voyage
Edited on Thu Apr-09-09 09:51 AM by Ian David
Physicist and broadcaster Brian Cox presents a tribute to his science hero, the American astronomer Carl Sagan, the man who many people describe as the greatest populariser of science of all time. His landmark television series Cosmos was seen by more than 600 million people worldwide and inspired a generation of young scientists to regard the universe with wonder and awe.

1. Thanks for the heads up Ian, I hope we in the US can watch it. His TED LHC video is amazing.

...I think he could be the 'next' Sagan if he keeps it up.

2. "greatest populariser of science of all time"
I think Julius Sumner Miller may have had as big an affect as Carl.
"Cosmos" was very slick and it blew me away.
