Message for Carl Sagan Via YouTube & Back Again (for Nick)

[Toobsurfur]

Carl Sagan is very much loved by the inhabitants of this Pale Blue Dot.

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

That marble is still there. Its in new videos

[nicoterradas]

I'm Nick (not that Nick, though). But I would also like to take that "thank you" on my behalf.

"Thank you, Carl."

[nystagmus]

he was amazing

Get your GPS units people. You can pay homage to Carl at his grave using these coordinates.

N 42° 27.384'

W 076° 29.583'

Elevation 547 ft. above sea level.

No, there are NO Carl Sagan stamps. There IS a campaign to get Carl put on a US FOREVER -class stamp.

Search for it on YouTube and you'll see the video about the campaign.

Muppet hands? Ha!

[JP5466]

It was a sad day in my life when Carl died.

[Jbear9]

How absolutely wonderful!  That was awesome! Thank you. Long live the memory of Carl Sagan.

[Rfive]

Thanks! I'll have to take a road trip. Your videos not only tell me where to go but also how to honor the man.

[dalehamel]

I am stifling a tear... this hurts almost as much as listening to a pale blue dot.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Wow.

[Rhonda9]

This is wonderful.

[flengyel]

A touching tribute to a great man.

[Astrogirl924]

Thank you for such beautiful tribute to a man who deserves them. I think Carl would be glad. I have been on the planet walk, the markers are beautiful! I wish I was back in upstate NY for the Sagan Gathering. I hope you get his face on those stamps!

[SardonicusRexx]

Would you want to place a wager on your claim? I've got $1,000 that says you're wrong.

Otherwise, show us. ...cuz you're mistaken.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Yes, unless you're a time traveler visitor from  2010 or later :-) then there are no US Carl Sagan stamps currently.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Now go see our video on the Sagan stamp campaign, look at the infobox text on the right. There you'll find a link where you can sign the petition.

[polimero]

Nice tribute.

[padavalos]

SardonicusRexx : Wonderful.. simple.

Thanks

[thewomandirector]

Sagan would have liiked your "pale blue dot!"

[SardonicusRexx]

If any of you can't make it to the Sagan Gathering in Ithaca starting on May 31st, you can mail me any messages or momentos and I'll place them at Carl' s grave. Spread the word.

[gazric]

i know how much carl meant/means to Nick, sardonicus, a wonderful thing to do

[darkpheonix262]

chris says thank you, i too will place a marble for carl

see you in june sardonicussrex at the festival

[SardonicusRexx]

Things are taking off for the Sagan Gathering. People around Ithaca are very supportive now that it's semi-public.

As for leaving momentos: during the Gathering we'll be stopping by Carl's grave at least once a day so that people who come to Ithaca for the Sagan Gathering can give their respects.

[SardonicusRexx]

The Gathering has been scaled back. The Sagan Brigade @ the Ithaca Parade will still happen, but the Gathering will be limited to tabling on Carl's contributions, science, and pressing matters of the day, and petitioning for the Carl Sagan USPS stamps.

[SardonicusRexx]

There will still be the visits to Carl's grave to pay our respects and of course the Sagan Planet Walk. I visited Carl's grave twice over the Earth Day weekend and couldn't find Nick's pale blue marble. I think somebody in the area might have seen the video and decided to take it.

Beautiful tribute!
