I found the book in a second hand shop and it reads just like the show. Great read from a great man of Science.

Carl Sagan is a hero of mine. I was something like ten or eleven years old when Cosmos first was broadcast and I would watch it on PBS with my father every week. I also soon after got to meet Dr. Sagan when he gave a speech about nuclear winter in NYC on New Years in 1984 in a cathedral. I was there for that speech and had been invited by somebody in the production of the event who introduced me to him that evening. I'll never forget it. He is greatly missed.

Watching him in "Cosmos" when I was a 5 y.o. kid in the 90's changed my life and how I saw the universe. While not a physicist or astronomer, I'm a biochemist, a researcher and university teacher.

Carl Sagan is a legend, and this video certainly did him justice! Excellent! Well done!

This man changed my life when I was 13 years old. Reading his book 'Cosmos' and watching the TV series blew my mind and I have had a love of science ever since.

I was born September 11th, 1980. Carl Sagan was my idol, my absolute hero. Not only did he stoke my interest in the cosmos as a very young child, he inspired me to write. His way of speaking married science with poetry and he always moved me with his eloquence. I have a very large tattoo on my thigh, from hip to knee, that is the setting sun, the rising moon, and of course, the starry sky. I got this tattoo in honor of Sagan, that's how much of an impact he had on my life.

@DrLesleyStevens

That's fabulous. Both my hips are covered too, for very different reasons. My question is other than getting tatted what did you do with this inspiration?

The way you read his quote was incredibly powerful. Thank you for that, you really did it immense justice.

It was Carl Sagan's Cosmos series that I watched in early 80's on JRT TV Belgrade1 that pushed me toward my astronomy degree years later. He was truly inspiring figure!

I am sad that I can't like this video twice.

Carl Sagan came into my life right after he himself had left his behind: My high school science teacher introduced us to Cosmos shortly after Sagan died. Ten years later, I lived across the street (well, freeway) from where he had died--a cancer care center in Seattle. I could see it out my window, and I often thought of him. He is one of my favorite historical figures, and somebody whose optimism and wonder are very dear to me. To the extent that Carl Sagan was egotistical, it was a conceit of deep humanism and extraordinary hopes and expectations for our incredible species. I've known people who worked with him, and he definitely had some detractors within the scientific community--nor can I disagree with their criticisms. But those criticisms miss the point: Sagan understood that scientific education in the general public is the underpinning of something abiding and profound. Having a place for scientific thinking in one's understanding of our surrounding world is perhaps the greatest gift there is. He was the ultimate storyteller, yet he never told stories. He only told the truth, as best he knew it. And he did it with such aplomb that it changed millions of people's lives forever, including mine.

I think the Pale Blue Dot is the most beautiful speech ever (maybe together with Chaplin's Great Dictator speech), it moves me almost to tears every time I hear it.

I have portraits of both Sagan and The Pale Blue Dot (with his words inscribed) on my bedroom walls, as an reminder, every morning...of what Life Is Really All About. I began studying astronomy as a small boy in the late 60's after seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey and the Apollo 11 moon landing. Became aware of him between the Pioneers and Viking missions, and he helped to inspire me from then on. His influence on 21st Century astronomy and environmentalism is incalculable. Great video, thanks for making this one.

I remember watching Cosmos with my father when I was a teenager. Some of my favorite memories.

Me too. Sharing admiration of Carl Sagan's Cosmos with my late father is something I hope to never forget.

Sagan could not only make complex concepts understandable, he did it in a way that wasn't patronizing. He didn't make you feel stupid for not understanding astrophysics. He did it in an incredibly eloquent, borderline poetic fashion, as well.

I loved seeing the show the Cosmos. Sagan made outer space seem so romantic, beautiful, and understandable. His speech about the blue dot picture was so poetic, and has always made me appreciate our small planet. I've had a telescope (different ones) my whole life because he inspired me to look up. I take my 6 year old son and my 10 yr old daughter out with our telescope hoping to inspire them to look up the way Sagan did for me. Thank you for covering Carl Sagan. Great work and looking forward to more.

After all these years I still get very emotional about that speech. Especially the section "The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand".

Margaret Rogers J.Y.Cousteau was my first science hero. I had all the National Geographics books and became a certified scuba diver because I wanted to be a marine biologist and explorer like he and his sons. I even got to shake hands with him when I was ten or twelve and he’d brought Calypso into St. Petersburg Florida to have equipment installed. He and Jean-Michel came right out to meet the crowd of tourist who had gathered... No security, no bodyguards, no fear of the people who crowded around...no way that could happen today!

Thank you for ending this one with such an insightful and beautiful sentiment. This was hands down one of your best episodes. I have seen almost all of them.

I grew up in Nigeria, and every Sunday morning Sagan would come on our TV. I was drawn to his voice like a moth to flame, and that was it.

This channel is rather overwhelming. Great work, Simon.

Thanks Simon and the team. Your great work is very much appreciated,

Carl attended Rahway High School in Rahway, NJ. There isn't so much as a plaque in recognition of him. Yet the halls are covered in acknowledgments for football players & wrestlers. Rah Rah Rahway High a prime example of why the U.S. Public Scool System churns out such Stellar Academics.
