I tell my young adult children that Carl was/is a voice of reason in a sea of self-importance… much love to carl as a human…one of our best.

My Childhood hero who convinced me to study Science passionately. One of the great minds that walk in this little blue dot planet. Thanks Dr. Carl Sagan for everything.

Carl Sagan died far too soon, but geniuses like him never really die, they live on in those willing to listen and learning from them. We are indeed explorers of knowledge and through Carl Sagan, among others, we manage to not just understand our universe, our Earth, but also ourselves and our purpose and legacy on this planet of ours.

I'm about 39 minutes into watching this video and I can't help but comment--it's a damn shame Carl Sagan didn't live long enough to enjoy the discovery of thousands of extra-solar planets. We are in great need of voices of clarity such as his. He died way too young.

How sad are the people who don't see the incredible beauty of Carl Sagan... In just two ears he, sadly, left us. He had so much vitality still, even to the last day.

I love him so much. The second best starts talking, and I hear his distinct and recognizable voice, I immediately feel good. Carl Sagan is a happy place for me.

This may sound strange to most, but to a few it will make perfect sense. I have the original COSMOS series on my phone (downloaded KZread videos), and I listen to it perhaps every other day as I fall asleep, or as I take my exercise walks in a local nature reserve. Doing this has helped me in my discussions with other people about many topics. It helps me stay focused, level-headed, and (more often than not) happy in dealings with other adults. Perhaps most importantly, it has given me patience to help children explore the world around them, to answer their questions in ways that promotes their thinking, and to work towards a better world I hope they inherit.

None of them would go back to their dark age fight for daily survival trying to follow the spoor of a herd of wild pigs. The evidence for that is to be found in all continents of the world where the extreme poor have been lifted out of the life and death struggle of daily life in squalor by simple access to electric light, water delivered to the home, a bicycle, and a clinic they can ride to.

So many times in this video the topic of his lifespan comes up, whether it's someone looking forward to his 70th birthday, or how he's to be remembered one day, and it's truly heartbreaking to know that in two years time he'll be gone. And gone far too soon. How wonderful it would have been to hear his delight over the discoveries that have been made since then.

Nate unfortunately with very mixed results...just saw his most recent interview on Joe Rogan and it was very offputting how rude Neil behaved there...I couldn’t imagine Carl ever behaving like this.

@@doalwa Completely agree. He doesn't have the empathy that is so much needed in communicating scientific knowledge to the common man. The reality of life is that we "hear and respect" people better when we believe they are of the same moral fabric that we are built of. Content matters, but more than that matters presentation.

He's okay in his field but when he started to attack B UFO researcher groups and Truth community concerning ET craft being seen all over this planet and dismissed it as total baloney. I lost a little respect for him for that but I'm sure he made some money doing it can we do all need to pay the bills.

I'm also cheering in the year 2021. What a pleasure to listen to this greatest lecture. Thanks for sharing.

Watching and learning in 2023.

30 mins in and all I'm missing is popcorn. What a legendary and interesting speaker Carl Sagan was. I could watch lectures like these in the cinema as if they were movies.

When I was a child, Carl Sagan inspired me with his views and wonderful voice like no other. I have an awful lot to thank him for.

I agree. I as well. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity myself to discover him when I was a teen in the 70's.

My first love in life and my greatest choice so far.

I got the opportunity to hear him speak in the early 90s at my little local community college. He didn't just speak at ivy league schools. My friend went into labor that same day, and I told her she had a time limit and I wasn't missing the chance to hear my space dad speak. I missed the birth, but wouldn't change a thing. I was in a very religious household, and I am forever grateful for the light he shined in my dark world.

This is the most beneficial video I have ever watched in my entire life. Thank you Carl Sagan. You are a hero for us.

He wasn't just incredible smart, he was immensely wise too.

Carl Sagan was a inspirational, poetic, irreplaceable man. Our loss is immeasurable and I am another who still grieves him. What glorious genius!

An absolutely brilliant man. He lives on because of lectures and recordings like this.

Carl Sagan , I applaud you for your dedication and pursuits of astronomy and science. As a child, each episode when you came on television, I sat with my mind full of wonder on the front row. 🙏❤️🌎🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵

Even when answering unfiltered questions, he's a poet :)

Thank you so much for making this available for public. He was a brilliant scientist , inspiring lecturer and a teacher par excellence.

1:08:35 How beautiful this is; he's not only remembered by his own words, but millions are able to hear his words as if he's still here with us. Still so sad that the world lost this beautiful person.

Wow. I wish more people could listen to this presentation and evaluate their own thinking. I think I am going to buy some Carl Sagan books tomorrow.

Carl Sagan you're missed. Thanks for all your inspiration.

I was given Cosmos the book when I was a child. I owe much of my love if astronomy, art, history and science to that one book. The illustrations were spellbinding, but the text was life changing.

As was I. And as will my children whenever I have them.

Carl Sagan was so smart they had to introduce the guy that introduced him.

Woah I didn't know that legendary speech of him on pale blue dot was first here. I 😢 every time i hear it.

The last question Sagan answered before wrapping up the Q&A is particularly inspiring and deserves its own video.

A stellar thinker and human being. I'm so glad he existed in my lifetime.

A master piece that should be included in every educational curriculum.

Hearing Carl Sagan is like he is always there in our midst. He never died. He has become immortal. Taking a cue from his own expression - Let’s make a world where we never lose his writings, speeches and works and make it available to the common human being!

I'm pretty sure he died, dude, it says so on Wikipedia. Maybe they got it wrong, I dunno.

This man is BRILLIANT!! This is the first time I have listened to him. Now I will go and hunt youtube for anything on Carl Sagan. Such a pity he's not with us anymore.

Carl Sagan a brilliant shining Star among Biiiiillions and Biiiiillions of Stars! Thanks for this great upload.

Thanks Carl for touching and changing lives all around the world. You visited Delhi and spoke there once. My regret to date that I was away at the time and missed listening to you in person. The best speaker I have ever listened to

It saddens me, that Carl had to pass, it would be so interesting to hear him deduce images, from Hubble, and James Webb. As a child he was the voice of cosmos, he introduced me to space, and words would make you imagination just work overtime. As I grow older, I still listen and watch his material. Such a smart human’s human being. Such hope for humanity, in an era of chaos. So outspoken, with a soft, stern, and professional, always recognizable voice. Rest In Peace, we will always miss you, and I thank God, for all of the recordings, and videos, you made. Your legacy will always live. Your golden record will hopefully live forever!

Carl Sagan will continue to influence and shape astronomy and questions about our purpose here for centuries to come. Of that, I am certain. His Pale Blue Dot speech alone will be remembered in a few centuries when we live on other planets and perhaps develop the technology to reach other stars.

I suspect his Pale Blue Dot speech will be remembered as a painful reminder of how lost humanity became before we went off a cliff via unchecked capitalism if we don't get our shit together by voting in progressives and do it soon. The GOP is outright treachery for society and corporate Democrats only pander towards addressing huge issues such as climate change, healthcare, etc. - Americans need to realize progressives who fight for average Americans and climate action are literally our last hope.

@@Cowicide I agree except I would say corporate Democrats only care to campaign on healthcare and climate change, but won't do enough to address them. They say things like universal access to healthcare which is like saying we all have access to a Lamborghini but mist of us can't afford it. We need single payer, or Medicare for All, like every other developed nation but centrist corporate dems will fight that as much as Republicans due to the money they get. Same with climate change. They'll all say we need to address it, but the ones taking that fossil fuel money will not do enough. They'll do enough to say they tried but will call necessary measures too radical. We need real progressives, not centrists pretending to be progressive to get elected.

Haha, cute. You think we will be here in 2 centuries.

What a man!! The universe is a poorer place since his passing, but we're unbelievably lucky to have had his wisdom and enthusiasm for 62 years. He's the closest I come to worshipping something..

He is a huge inspiration. Legendary physicist, thinker and philosopher.

Hard to believe he's been gone nearly 23 years now

What an incredible representation of Sagan's breadth and diversity of knowledge. Thank you for restoring and making this lecture available to all of us!

Absolutely agreed. It was brilliant. It'll never go out of date.

My three personal heroes, Carl Sagan, Leonard Nimoy and David Suzuki. Carl inspired much of my work in physics theorem. I have admired, respected, listened to and learned from him since I was a small child. See you out there, somewhere... As for the rest of you, May the Universe accept your chosen paths and through fortune and favour, open them up to you.

Wish he were still here to explain the boundaries of our discoveries. Brilliant communicator and educator.

a new sagan video, 20 years later. its like Christmas :') The Q&A at the end is particularly amazing classic Sagan answers; the existence of god and the animal usage for biomedical testing answers were both incredibly insightful decades later.

thank you for posting this....Carl Sagan, a cosmic treasure

This is a timeless masterpiece, thank you!

We miss you Carl Sagan. Thank you .

Many of us who otherwise would have never had quality scientific instruction, not only recieved very good science lessons but the best scientific thoughts and concepts available, through professor Sagan's books. I cannot express sufficient gratitude for his legacy. We desperately need more people with his wit, his wisdom, his sharpness and his attitude. I just love him with all the strenght of my existence.

As a teacher of science, I was able to use the Cosmos series with my students. Most thought it was an amazing program, with so many interesting facts, stories and visual aides of the stars and planets, and of world history, the scientists of ancient times were shown in story format, just an incredible series, and even I learned something new every time we viewed this timeless production, If you haven't seen it, please do.
