"victims of their own success, the explorers pretty much stay home" that coupled with the image of the shuttle coming down in reverse is absolutely soul wrenching

In a way, he saw it coming.

Carl Sagan was a living model of what we should all strive to be. Compassionate & curious, to use our intelligence with confidence and caution. To do our best to measure ourselves and therefore best determine what measures we should take. He was a gentle, yet persistent voice of reason; clearly delivering the path to the answers that lie in us all, whether we recognize it or not. The only way to truly appreciate his message is to try and live it.

That was the best summation of Carl Sagan's life and career as a human being I have ever heard. If Carl were here today and asked all of us "What have you done for humanity lately?". Anything I can come with, falls somewhere between mediocrity and selfishness. Trying to live up to Carl's hopes for humanity is a tall order.

"new world ocean" ... love it.

Whoa hi

"Humans, like the gods of old, living in the sky." I just love that sentence. It's amazing.

I'm not sure why this made me cry, but no one can touch my soul like Sagan.

Carl Sagan's voice is so incredibly calming. This is the perfect video to watch for a good cry.

We are not quite the middle children. We are taking that of which we've gathered from our knowledge of the universe and reapplying it to ourselves. In many ways we live in the most interesting time, as we get to be the one's discovering the applications of that of which our ancestors explored and what our great grandchildren will explore.

You know, when I look around I lose almost all faith in humanity. However, when I watch things like this.. it puts back some of that faith that I lose. This is a simply wonderful video. Thank you and thank you Mr. Sagan for everything.

Happy 80th Birthday Carl Sagan. Your legacy will live on. What a great scientist.

this video makes me cry every time

I could see staying home all day long and watching this and Feynman. That would keep my mind busy.

What do you do instead, sir?

Its strange, I''m a guy who doesn't cry, sad movies, sad funerals, depressing situations regardless of the time or place I swallow it back and 'man up' but a 3:23 minute video about our achievements and potential leaves me in tears that I can't hold back. Thank you Reid Gower and of course Carl Sagan for giving me hope in what we can achieve! =)

Mr. Saga is always able to find just the right words to make something as difficult and dangerous as space travel seem like a wonderful walk in the park. I love it!

Hey Reid, just wanted to say that this series you made kinda changed my life all those years ago. I’m revisiting it again and appreciating the beauty you’ve created. You’re a good yooman, as Carl would probably say about you.

Carls words always make me cry.... RIP Carl we miss you....

Brought tears to my eyes

I absolutely love this series although like others that have commented here it threatens to make me cry. The greed, corruption and stupidity that permeates humanity is astounding from our leaders on down. Just read the comments on any news article on Facebook. The most telling thing I can take from these videos is the statistic of military vs space budget, if we just flipped those figures humanity would be much better off and far more advanced. Sagan was the man!

No, if they flipped those figures, their surrounding countries/cultures will invade.

Voice of reason. Voice of science. Voice of the brilliance that human beings can ever achieve. Just makes me cry.

There are two voices in this world that put me at peace and help me relax, Sagan is one, Hawking is the other.

YES! I've wanted a new Sagan video for so long now! Beautiful work Reid Gower! Brought tears to my eyes.

From Chile... Thanks for such master piece.. thanks for bringing Carl to our Generation... "Looking for the stars its the best way we have to seek for tomorrow"

Thank you for the videos. They have made quite an impact in my life. So sad you are gone Carl, you are quite an inspiration.

it is always a pleasure to hear Dr. Sagan

I love these narrations, man. This man has an inspirational voice.

I love, love, love this series... Mr. Reid Gower please give us more!!!!

Liked, favourited, and shared. Thank you damewse. You do great justice to Carl.

Thank u so much! Beautiful sagan

Please keep these videos coming I love these videos

I love this man. I’ve gone through a very deep depression to the point of suicide and when I discovered this man it brought a little light unto my world. My wives family is always discrediting my admiration for men such as Carl Sagan because they don’t follow the Christian doctrine but this to me is my religion. I love science educators. Thank you Carl Sagan for the voice you have given to science.

You're the man!! One of the best yet in the series!

Finally, I was beginning to wonder if you'd stopped making these. Keep it up, I show them to everyone I can whenever there's a new one!

I weep with joy and recognition of a kindred spirit when I even think for very long about Carl Sagan, Thank you for another wonderful video to share with my students

"We are the custodians of life's meaning"- Carl Sagan

I love this!!! That shot of the surface of Mars is magnificent.

Awesome job as usual. Keep it up.

Thank you for doing this and the other videos! They're very inspiring. I was worried you had stopped doing the Sagan Series.

Thank you very much! Great work!

This video is so underrated it makes my heart ache. This method of thinking; the way Sagan takes a panoramic view of it all, it's so rare...I would like to believe that humanity will come to its senses but I know it won't, and that's what makes me so sad.

absolutely freaking beautiful. thank you

if everyone had a cosmic perspective things would be so different :')

thank you so much for this video!! i faithfully subscribed to you hoping for more videos and ou didn't dissapoint.

Flawless, all the way through. bravo

Thank you for these, Reid. :)

These videos really inspire me to do things, and live life in general.

Awesome! Great job!

Yes have been waiting for so long!

I have been waiting so long for part 9 :)

Aaaaaaaaaaand my day has been made. Thank you, Carl Sagan.

Awesome Video!

Thank you. After watching these video's, sharing them, downloading them and putting them on my iPod, I have become so fascinated with space, even so much as to travel to the Kennedy space center. They have giving, not only me, but all who watch them hope for the future and truly they do help to inspire those who believe that we can rise above our petty differences and travel into the heavens. Thank You

You have no idea how happy I was to see this in my subscription box.

I love this series more than words can say. Carl would have been proud

When I saw this on my subscriptions page I was so exited, no Sagan Series episode has left me without feeling completely different feelings that are not my own.

Eu te amo Carl Sagan

Always get goosebumps when i watch these

Goosebumps, as always.

Gorgeous video damewse, just like the others this one gave me chills all over! :)

Nice video to great words. Thanx a million

Love it!

This video gets to me every time I watch it. Its just so surreal.

You've done it again, Carl/Reid.

Thank you, Carl Sagan.

He always make us teared up once a while

Fantastic!

Whenever i listen to carl sagan i get this feeling! A mixture of fear and excitement, sadness, and happiness. We will not see any aliens or other planets, we wont travel in space, but dont feel bad: You are alive! You know whats out there. You know where you came from. You just dont know yet where you will be going.... yet! I believe that when we die, we venture in outer space. We become the universe once again! Dont worry, you will see the universe in all its glory, no need to rush! :)

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. Thank you for everything Carl.

Mr Sagan, you are badly missed.

Brilliant series. May inspire in the hopes of educating.

Wow, this is a good one. Carl was really a visionary. We need to set sail in that new world ocean

Wow, simply amazing.

Never heard of The Sagan Series. I'll be checking it out real soon. Carl is my hero and I could watch him all day.

:O this was posted on my birthday, best birthday present ever

Yeah I'm very happy to see that

These videos bring tears to my eyes, very little has ever done that to me. But these are tears of hope and despair. The hope is that I believe that one day, we will traverse the stars, that one day we will meet other beings, that one day, we can reach a peaceful and stable environment where different religions, cultures, and ideologies CAN EXIST peacefully. Despair, that the hope will probably never happen.

Cant wait to watch this when I come home

I could listen to Carl Sagan for eternity. R.I.P

Thank you.

Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" should be taught in every school. Brilliant video.

The people that are living in this period of time. We could be the last generations that are bound to one planet. We should enjoy our time on this planet finally fixing it before leaving to embark on unknown adventures.

wooooooo!part 9!

Great shot of the Hokule'a at the end :)

Sagan had a remarkable delivery, and putting it to music and videos just makes his messages more poignant.

Tis is a really great part, the last few were not so great but this is amazing!

The way he says humans makes me laugh every single time😂😂😂😂

awesome!

"There are lots of humans" - Carl Sagan

Good man for giving credit to the videos you got this from.

Damn, this one gets me every time.

he could say anything and i'd be awestruck. however, i'm glad that he chose the words that he did. they've touched me.

Just perfect.

Sagan is truly the poet of modern science. He really puts things into perspectives. We need more people like him, even to just spark our little friend called curiosity. Curiosity can lead to great things.

It definitely makes you think, only to realise the answer you are looking for is incomprehensible.

Timeless wisdom...!
