Nice.

Awesome. I always enjoyed how articulate a speaker he was.

Sagan was a giant of the 20th century. Astronomer, teacher, novelist, environmentalist, pacifist; what a great man. I had read the book "Cosmos" several times before I'd seen the video-series. It blew me away that he had his book memorized. I sure as hell couldn't spit out my writing, verbatim, right off the tip of my tongue.

Ooh, got a lot of vids to watch now. Thanks.

Despite the fact that his and my views in an area or two were diametrically opposed, I always enjoyed Cosmos immensely. I was always interested in the stars but Cosmos fired my imagination.
Awesome post Scape. That's a ++ for sure.

You're diametrically opposed to a man who's entire life was dedicated to world peace and scientific inquiry?

You've never seen Cosmos! Wow! Sorry, I think I've read the book and seen the series so many times I can't fathom there is someone out there that hasn't.

Enjoy! Here's a bonus:

I watched most of it a year ago or so, but missed some parts. It' s worth watching again.

And again, and again. . .

I always grin a bit when Sagan comes up on a forum. Usually because, sooner or later, someone who argued with me that science is an atheist pursuit or an atheist concept (and that I was a psuedo-intellectual pillock for suggesting otherwise) will come in here voicing their vociferous agreement and adoration of everything which Sagan said and I will get to drop the bombshell that Sagan agrees with me that it's an agnostic concept.

Not saying that I'm doing that here though (since I don't know if I've ever discussed that on these forums). Thanks a ton for sharing this with us, Scape! I've already viewed them and, even if someone doesn't agree, he is a marvelous speaker to listen to.
