"dont tell me the sky is the limit, when we have footprints on the moon"

It's amazing how Sagan still continues to inspire - new people every day - despite his death fifteen years ago. It's as if he's still here. It's as if his words are being spoken fresh from his mouth as opposed to being repeated through a recording. It makes me unafraid of death, knowing how one man can continue to do so much without even being alive. I wish I had been born earlier. I wasn't even two years old when we lost this great man and his great mind. Rest in Peace, Carl Sagan.

I need to show some of Carl Sagan's speeches to my friends who don't appreciate spaceflight.

I' am not an emotional guy, but the beauty of this made me cry. Such a wonderful video. This is so inspiring.

I can't believe they took down the pale blue dot video due to copyright. Those people seriously disgust me. They do not intend to share Carl Sagan's words with the world and have no plan to share with their own species. Shame on them. If only they can learn from Carl.

And that kind of acts one day truly will end human's curiosity and pursuit of exploration. We live in time which nationalism is on rise and we rarely hear word of mankind. We become more seperated year by year. Human individualism and ability to dream is being destroyed by unregulated capitalism. Also when dictators being called a heros truly show how degradation of human kind is on increase year by year.

Hey Reid. I hope you still drop in to see the comments. It's a great thing you did here. You gave a beautiful context to man, a poet, and his words. The human condition is wild and varied. The Sagan (and Feynman series) always gives me hope. Thank you.

Just imagine the balls it takes to be the first men to strap yourself into a giant tube filled with explosives for the purpose of traveling to a barren rock in an environment that kills you instantly when unprotected. Bravo Apollo astronauts, bravo.

Carl Sagan understands our potential as a species. These videos as well as his TV show was his greatest gift to us. He offered enlightenment and a wealth of "purpose" as a person, and a human species. If everyone was as enlightened as Carl Sagan, who knows where we would be today.

Two of the most amazing men.. Dancing with the stars. I'm literally crying.

I really gear tears in my eyes every time I watch this. It does not get old to me at all. so awesome that we did that, We live in an age where man has walked on the moon.....

this actually brought me to tears a bit. im only 26 and never saw this happen live but even now i feel why its so powerful of an achievement.

Came here in honor of Neil. Brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you Neil, for giving all of us here on the pale blue dot...hope. Rest easy Hero, you earned to have your're name immortalized for all to know the achievements you gave us.

We had entered the realm of myth and legend.... How beautiful, powerful.

This is from Sagan's great book the Pale Blue Dot, which is available as an audiobook partly read by himself. I listened to the entire chapter on the moon landings the other day, while working in the yard. A little lost in this video (which is greatly done in its own right) is the original point of the chapter, which is that the US didn't go to the moon for pride or prestige, but to show the Russians that the US had the biggest and most powerful rocket. The Gift of Apollo, Sagan states, is that it showed us the way to a form of enlightenment we wouldn't have had otherwise. Through our collective shortsightedness and stupidity, man became the work of legend and myth. We went to the Moon, and discovered Earth.

Reid, you have an incredible talent bro !!! It's been almost two years now and I keep coming back to this series !!! THANK YOU !

Never more than at this moment in the modern era have we needed a profound reminder of the colossally important and exciting role that science, space exploration and the human quest for knowledge must continue to play in our development as a species.

I read comments from "trolls" and it makes me sad.. I come to these videos and read the comments by other people like me being inspired by actions we will never truly experience (not through lack of dreaming), and it gives me hope. And a smile

I've watched this at least two dozen times over the years. It always gives me pause. It never gets old. It's such a boon to the world that Sagan recorded Pale Blue Dot's narration. I have it on Audible... I wish we'd have gotten more to do that, like Tolkien, Frankl or Hemingway.

and its even nicer to understand through that insignificant how truly significant we all really are. You are not just you, you are us. Welcome to the universe, its known you for longer than you have.

Alone we are capable of nothing, but together we are capable of everything.

Its my birthday today, and like every July 20, I stop and celebrate this amazing event in our history. Although I'm never sure why, it humbles and encourages me. Long live exploration and curiosity.

That budget slide sickens me. You hear the planners of future private Mars mission state it would cost $6 billion USD to send a few people to live permanently on Mars... subsequent trips would be about $4 billion USD and continue to get more affordable as time goes on. That is nothing when you compare it to the $12.68 billion USD that we are spending on new Gerald Ford class aircraft carriers. I wish I knew how to light up the minds of people all over the Earth with curiosity for the advancement of not only a few superpowers but for the entire human species.

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for another one of these!!!!!

I think we have thousands of reasons to do the things we do. But telling them to someone is useless, because it’s not something you can express in words. It something you need to feel; to feel the beauty of the universe is to truly understand why we want to do these things.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE. THANK YOU

Fantastic. As always

Yes a new one. I truly love and appreciate this series. Thank you for making them and please don't stop. I will continue to spread the message and these videos to as many people that I can. Much love and respect for everyone.

Beautiful as always.

Wow everyone of your videos give me chills. Its like these videos open my encrusted eyelids and I explode with excitement. Thank you damewse!

Great Channel!!! Thank You!

Another Great video.... Thank you Reid and Carl...... ^__^

thanks you for making these videos.

This is was both thought provoking and beautifully done ... we need more people like Carl Sagan in this world!

This would make a flat earther cry

welcome back sagan series. amazing video.

Fantastic!! Sagan is something else.

Last night I clearly saw two different shooting stars in a span of about 15 minutes. I felt lucky. But I never thought I'd be lucky enough to see this beautiful series of videos featuring Carl Sagan. Thank you for your enlightening work.

I truly wish I was there to experience this live. It happened decades before I even came along so I can only imagine the feeling, but judging by my tears of joy just watching this I am quite convinced it must have been grand. I envy those who were there, and I can only hope we will venture back out there and experience something equally awesome before I depart again.

Carl,Thanks for the inspiration.You were really special.You have changed mindsets of a whole new generation.#saganism

Such beautiful videos. Keep them coming! :]

I applaud your work and perseverance to upload and edit these.

oh the chills i get from these videos...

And here we are, in 2020, in the midst of all the darkness caused by the pandemic, a glimmer of light shines, a small hope. With the US, returning to Human Space flight in a few days, maybe, maybe, we'll go back and dare to dream like we did back them.

All spacefaring nations should come together and make a dream true...

My grandfather lost his eye helping build the Apollo 11 and even got to meet the legend. RIP Neil. Say hi to grandpa for me.

this just made my week. excellent editing, thank you for this!

Don't worry you are not alone. I feel like I have been robbed of this my entire life. I feel like when I was 10 my parents should have been trying to take me to meet Sagan... I feel like if I could have just met the man it would have changed my life so much sooner I might actually be contributing to his vision right now.

Listening to anything Carl Sagan teaches and speaks about takes my breath away.

I like that last sentence. Awesome!

Mr. Armstrong, you stood taller than any of us. You were the culmination of our strive, accomplishment, and hope. Rest in peace, my friend, you deserve it.

this makes me want to cry how beautiful it is. i love science.

Every single one of these has given me chills.

Amazing stuff, keep it up

Absolutely incredible as always

Thank you!

Powerful stuff. Not many videos can draw so many emotions out of me.

Great video as always. And good song from Patrick Watson!

Such a great man who had a massive influence on me as a teenager. So sad that he was taken from us.

This is why I haven't lost hope for the world... not youtube, the world. It brings tears to my eyes to see all of these people watching these videos, and to see them wishing this man a happy birthday. This is a real man, he changed this world. I want to do the same, though I fear I cannot. I will try though. Swear it.

Carl Sagan... i do not have words to say how much admire him. After death, he still teach us and care us.

ok this one made me cry!

Only complaint is the astronaut at 1:43 is not from the Apollo era, he's a Shuttle astronaut - other than that, amazing video again!! Thanks so much for your great work!

Awesome !

If we long for our planet to be important, there is something we can do about it. We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers. - Carl Sagan

Hard not to get teary eyed when watching these, damn.

Amazing!

Good Job!

Wow! Nice sun refection on the visor!

Poeticity at it's peak ..., Something we doo expect from dr sagan

watching these late at night in your room and seeing the moon just through the clouds outside my window and thinking we've been theyre makes me proud to be human

Mr. Armstrong. I am sitting here wondering how many cardboard boxes I sat in as a child... drawing gauges and dials inside... to make my own space capsule. Thank you (and all of your colleagues) for all the imaginations and dreams you gave us as children to walk in your footsteps and thank you for the example you set for us all. Godspeed Neil.

awesome. just awesome.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday Proph3t777. I hope we get back to the moon sometime before we are all gone!

"...the inescapable recognition of the unity and fragility of the Earth is its clear and luminous dividend..."

Striking. Inspiring. Sobering. Sagan truly had a way with words.

I feel like we're close, very close. Within a few generations, nobody will care what color their neighbors are, or where they came from, or who did what to who's grandfather, or what invisible space monster they worship. And then, at long last, we will throw off this these petty instincts that betray our animal ancestry and venture forth to stride the invisible ether of the universe forever as gods. Man, Sagan always makes me wax poetic.
