    to hisvorpalsword, you must be very proud, these moments are the moments that make you smile after thinking about them, also, I could just imagine seeing a big undated black & white photograph of Carl Sagan with a smile on his face talking with another person heads slightly tilted, both talking, well really at this point The photo marks a most profound historical event, & I am not sure if your Father is still alive or not, but if I was you, I would find that photo, get it processed & enlarged as big as poster size, & put it up in the lounge room with a lovely framed background, think about this, you do this "& maybe within your lifetime we finally make contact, at least on the mainstream aspect, I don't presume to think it hasn't happened, but that in the big picture the period of the moment scince that photo taken, until the moment our species finds out that we have a much larger cosmic family, well the moment of the photo until the moment of confirmation of other life is like a time wise galactic nano second, because the relavence of that photo time wise until we observe fruits of our labour in terms of a young space faring planet, is currently still very relevant even if the photograph is like a classic black & white 1960's photo.

    Sagan, although he regretted it later and defended him, was front and center in silencing and censoring Immanuel Velikovsky and in forcing the publisher to drop Velikovsky as a client despite having been no#1 on the the bestsellers list for 11 straight weeks, something that had not happened before or since and opposite to the values he preached. To add insult to injury it was alleged that Velikovsky was pushing pseudoscience even though much of what he was proposing was self admitted speculation. Velikovsky has since been validated on the radio signals from Jupiter, The magnetized nature of moon rocks, the atmospheric composition and temperature of Venus, The electrical nature of Saturn and dozens of other points used to motivate his speculation. Sagan admitted the treatment of Velikovsky was wrong in his Cosmos series but stopped short of issuing an apology. He also clearly made the statement carrying bitterness from his consistent defeat at the hands of Velikovsky in 1 to 1 debates and couldn't resist getting in a couple of barbed comments, it was observed by many at the time that the only time they saw Sagan flusted was during his discussions with Velikovsky. That is not an excuse by the values of science that Sagan promotes so eloquently. I say this as a fan of Contact and SETI but not as a fan of burying those who disagree with you when they should be held in the very highest echelons of science for their remarkable intuitive grasp of scientific thinking personally and individually overturning thinking in 46 different scientific disciplines.

    To make a comparison such as that, holds next to no merit. Both men reached their pinnacle in completely different worlds. In the most fundamental sense.

    Indeed. And nobody was saying much of anything relating to our existence that wasn't first vindicated by Mr. Sagan. To watch Cosmos in real time when it was first aired was a wonderfully fresh and enlightening program of which I always watched wihout fail. It eventually went on to become a timeless and engaging way to look at life on Earth and in turn, our place in the immense distances and power of our solar system. I'd like to believe Carl is where he wanted to be long before his heartbreaking passing.

    @@AALavdas wholly agree. I first read the COSMOS when I was just 11yrs old, and watched the series which aired in the UK on BBC2. It changed my whole outlook on life. One of many I have found though out my life. Dr Sagan is greatly missed. His ideas of introducing young kids to the universe with the message be what you can be, your imagination is the future. I always remember a story he told, he went as a kid to his local library and asked the librarian could he have a book on Stars, the lady librarian returned saying here you go kid! it was a book about the Hollywood stars of the era. He politely said no a book about the Sun you know stars. Just goes to show how dumb we treat Children. Sagan a true genius of our time, I hope in the future he goes down in history with the greats.

With no reduction what’s so ever in emissions! . 100/26 = 3.8 pa. in another 30 years if we keep pumping it up at current rates will be 515ppm. God help us? By then I’ll be 100 if I’m still alive?
