Woo-hoo! What a shame that Carl Sagan was taken from us so soon.

| 7. Not to mention the invisible dragon living in my garage |

That was brilliant. Much easier to digest than Sextus Empiricus, that's for sure.

Its not just that he was a scientist. Its that he tried to bring science to the people. We need more like him. We have more than enough scientists locked in their towers concocting potions and reagents. We need the ones that can come out and speak to the people and show them the wonders of what we are learning.

He's also a flawed character.
You can see it watching that show.

It is a wonderful series. And his books are wonderful as well.

| 8. Loved "Cosmos" Watched it on PBS ages ago |

I'd bet money that if Carl Sagan was alive today he would be all over the global warming issue. He was a great voice.
