These videos inspire my imagination. From nomadic hunters to space explorers. Life is beautiful and the truth to the evolution of us and are history is incredible. Even now, i can speak to the world. I am impatient, i am anxious and i am desperate to know the mysteries of our future. What lies ahead?
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
spending money on the advancement of humankind, and the exploration of space is useless and unnecessary, but spending trillions on technology used to kill other HUMAN BEINGS is smart and justified?
I'm so very confused as to how we've arrived at this stage, and how people can just continue on with life accepting it... lets wake up fellow humans. please.
i love how people in this video actually believe space travel means something right now. First we gotta discover immortality in order to be able to reach habitable planets... and it's not like we can adapt to a new planet no matter how earth-like it is anyways... so, yeah keep wasting more money, the answer is here, not out there.
@AnteroX1234 We most certainly won't need immortality. We can reproduce, you know. No matter how long the journey is we will still be there upon arrival. Not necessarily as the same individuals that left, but definitely as a race. That aside, there are several solutions to interstellar travel which by today's theories should be possible. Warp being the favorite, I believe. If Einstein's theories are correct, then warp travel is a fact which we'll only have to discover.
@AnteroX1234 Certainly, but who's to say we can't find ways around those complications? Artificial gravity being one thing. There are ways to keep radiation out too. They wouldn't be ideal conditions, nor would they be cheap by today's standards, but given desperate times we would obviously deem it worthy to ensure our survival.
Flat out giving up like you seem to be set on definitely won't get us anywhere, and certainly didn't in history either. There are no problems. only solutions.
So that the problem. I knew they haven't hade the budget. But it's kind of fail to see war budget skyhigh compaired with space budget xD. They have the money, they only put the money in the wrong place
The one thing I want to see before I die, is to experience man landing on Mars and colonising the Red World. The day I see this, I will weep with joy that Man is truly an interplanetary species. We will have found our way as a species, and I will die knowing that humans will venture to the stars. Thank you Carl, thank you NASA, you have opened my mind from a planetary perspective to one that spans the Cosmos herself.
My favorite shots in this video are the groups of people looking on in awe as this historic event takes place, of the celebrating in the streets. Can we honestly say it would be the same today if we landed on Mars?
It saddens me seeing the video's on the left, where people think they can destroy Atheïsm because we don't know everything. They don't get science is the art of learning of the unknown. And to use it to make life better, for everyone. On this planet, and maybe later on other planets too.
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.
Personally I don't think we should invest in space exploration just yet. If we were to spend $2.1 trillion in space exploration rather than in military, we would achieve a lot, but we would still be competing. If we don't completely unify at least our scientific world and spend the money on a common goal we would not advance as effectively.
@TheTazzietiger If you knew anything about Von Braun, you would know he was forced to join the SS. He was the ultimate opportunist and saw an opportunity to further his lifelong dream of space flight. For a former Nazi, he changed sides very willingly and easy. All of our early ICBMs that worked were his designs, along with all of our space rockets. I think his quote after Apollo 11 launched was great. "Give me $10 billion and 10 years, and I'll put a man on Mars." I think he could have.
if we spend more on making it to space and advancing ourselves in technology that gives us better renewable energy, the happier we will be as a species, the less wars we will have and the more beautiful our planet will be.
Nice people, you have Carl Sagan trying to talk peace and equality and you fucking idiots want to argue about religion and atheism. Creation and evolution. Why don't you all just accept each other or just the fuck up and get over it. Do you think this is what he wanted?
@tordyveln That made me smile. Lets just hope we will witness the universe. Lets hope some day, the people and governments of this world will unite, and separate their differences. Lets hope they can work together to explore the universe. The budget at the end should be swapped, we shouldn't need much military. Hopefully one day people will come to realise this. But until then, we must settle for the little bits we can, for it's all we have.
@IamBread18 look into the future with great optimism and you will see that we will witness far greater things.. First humans on the surface of the planet Mars, look forward and hope and optimism will enlighten you. :)

It's a very good question: "what happened?". Today we can ask: "was anyone on the moon in the first place?" - since there are speculations about the shots made in a studio and the stories about the actual return of the astronauts, which was 1 day, not a week.. Knowing now how common is manipulation of the image in media, I wouldn't be surprise if the whole event was a hoax, or at least the footage. And there are no other proves, aren't there? Maybe Carl Sagan thought about it too..
@dawtchins with that $2.1 trillion we could colonise the moon at the wave of a hand and still have enough left for mars, but instead we are fighting wars in far away nations instead of colonizing the stars, hopefully man will realise it's folly soon.
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.
Funny how the smart people,. the thinkers, and scientists dont run the world, but some STUPID ignorant politician who studied economy and have no insight in nature or society and only cares about profit, its funny and sad.
I don't mind military spending, I don't mind nationalism. But when it gets in the way of progress that can bring humanity so much further in such a short time, it is more than wrong, it is inexcusable; it is absolutely unforgivable.
I'm sad to say in my debate team at the highschool I attend, we have the topic of the Advancing of Space Programs. Only 3 people agree to advance while the rest laugh at SETI, NASA, the ideas to expand the human race outwards into space. They call it a waste of money and time.
These are the people soon to be the future voters, citizens, and possibly leaders of our world's nations. I wish they could understand the words of Sagan, and realize the ignorance of their words.
@DesolateGrunt We may be few and far between in our persistent belief of Sagan's words, but what is paramount is that we remain as such, and pass the wonders of the universe and our curiosity on so that we may prosper as a species.
@DesolateGrunt I dont see the point of our existence if we dont grow and explore. What do these people want us to do ? Go back in time? Back to the caves.
@DesolateGrunt It's not that they are ignorant. For the time there is far more important things for us to do down here on earth before we will be ready to continue our voyage into the cosmos. We need a stronger global economy, unity, and newer technology, such as fusion/fission engines.But space calls to humans. As Isaac Asimov once said Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly. I'm sure Carl would understand.
@lonelyconstellation I don't see how you get that. For now the problems outweigh the gains. In the future there will be fewer problems, the costs of space travel will decrease as technology and societies evolve. As I listed in my last posts but I will reiterate: Global unity, economy, scientific illiteracy, and technology specifically in the way of space vessels for now. We need to find a way to continuously accelerate or utilize nuclear fission/fusion. Problems here will not always hold us back
@CommStarcraft How can you claim that programs such as NASA do not help promote scientific literacy, Global Unitity, technology advancement etc etc etc...
You say the the problems outweigh the gains when the problems were not problems 50 years ago and the gains are still unknown?
@DesolateGrunt At my school I have tried to introduce the work of Sagan to my peers. Only 1 of these peers has actually embraced his words of intelligence. The rest disregard him and think his views are "stupid". I am currently working with my friend to launch a balloon with cameras into the stratosphere and the question we are always faced with is why? I never really know how to answer because there is no real aim to this project other than to marvel at the beauty of the world and the explore.
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.
@DesolateGrunt Remember that throughout human history the survival of our entire species was often owed to just a few... You must carry the fire , Don't despair...
@DesolateGrunt But space travel is a waste of money. All around the world people are dying of starvation, rape, sickness, and war, yet people consider spending billions upon billions of dollars going into space, and all for what? To see balls of gas and large rocks? Space in this time isn't needed. Later, yes, space travel and exploration will be a must, but now, no. I love space more than the next guy, but in this time, its selfish and wasteful to go into space.
@420n0sc0p3serryday selfish? its not like they are wanting to go into space just to go hang out there for a while, cause its cool... you sir are retarded... people will always die of starvation, fight... and get sick... its been happening pretty much forever... its time we start the program so in the future the human race can progress, and not be retarded animals in a cage constantly fighting because ones different, theres nothing selfish about it.. its for mankind, and will change everything
@420n0sc0p3serryday We need to colonize space now. Also you can't use the laughable amount of money directed for space exploration for these issues and expect a change.I can't express the whole message in 500 characters because i'm not good enough of a writer. Watch "Neil deGrasse Tyson at UB: What NASA Means to America's Future" it will provide you with everything you need to understand. Peace.
Nice strawman. The funding of space programs does not preclude the battle against impoverishment, starvation, war, discrimination or whatever bullshit you use as an argument against progress. If anything, you should be attacking the immense amount of money that goes into war, which utterly dwarfs current space budgets (as you would have saw at the end of the video if you actually watched it.
Also, research into space is far from useless, it being what helped discover the MRI.
@GSNRecords I never said it was useless. We could make huge energy generators with how frictionless space is, but in this place and hour it is simply illogical. The starvation etcwasexampl
@420n0sc0p3serryday 180 character limit. Everything we waste money, capital, and resources, today is astonishing. I would like to see space colonized eventually but not now.
@420n0sc0p3serryday Yo have any idea how much money is given to this countries with people dying of starvation? It's enough believe me, why does this not solve the problem? corruption mostly, but as you can see it's not because of the lack of money that this remains unsolved. When people say we need to colony other planets, they never mean: we have to do it in this decade. They mean it is time to begin the long process that will make it possible.
@Nickname1718 It took a decade for one of the most powerful nations focusing 100% on it and taking a lot of risks to make it to the moon. It's not likely that such focus will be used again in anything. This slows down more the stuff that needs to be done. Talking about money, do you think all that money actually needs to be "invested" in military stuff? I mean with half of that money you could have a healthy space program running but they keep cutting NASA's resources even more.
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.
This is when i ask myself whats the point of politicians... Men like Sagan... scientists should be governing the world because they themselves have what is most important in mind for us... our future..
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.
When they show the budgets it makes me think and I swear I don't understand why we waste so much money on hate when science is so much more phenomenal.
@haarstad88 Take a look here 3:53, my friend. What's too risky for humanity that we can't explore the universe? Instead we risk our lives for something we've done since the beginning of time, fight.
@haarstad88 That's slightly true, but you do realize that the only reason China is right below the US in the list of highest ranking GDP is because of their population is 4 times bigger, right? That doesn't mean that China should keep up with their space program as their GNI per capita is so low. So I don't understand why you say that China can afford it, but the US cant. lol
people like carl should never die. i`m still wondering why jesus "resurrected". people like carl sagan, einstein or any other genius should resurrect. we need more people like them
We humans have set foot on another world in a place called the Sea of Tranquility [the Moon], an astonishing achievement for creatures such as we, whose earliest footsteps three and one-half million years old are preserved in the volcanic ash of east Africa. We have walked far.
@DeanLeysen A great collection of videos until Gift Of Appolo, i just do not can not believe that was true, surely other countries even the US would of landed again seeing as all the years later the technology would of made it much easier to do i am not a conspiracy person but i do believe the landing was all made up , but seven other good
Carl Sagan, was by far, one of the greatest scientists, thinkers and in many ways, philosophers of our time. He saw where our future lay and his death was a profound loss to all mankind. One day, I hope that our descendants can forgive us our ignorance and short comings and lack of foresight. One can look up into the sky and see the edge of forever and the backbone of night across the night sky. None of us here, must lose hope that we will one day embrace it as a species and leave our cradle.
I am 15 and I found Carl Sagan at a young age, he changed my life in a way that nothing in school could ever do. I love seeing the world through a different perspective. No one of my age shares the views I have, and I can't hold a conversation with anyone on these things. But I have learned to being introspective and explore my thoughts on my own. I lost that dream for awhile, but recently life has put me back on the trail. This is the stuff that makes you a well rounded human. Not an award.
I don't like rollar coasters, I'm terrified during turbulance on planes, but I would give anything to travel to space and view the Earth from there firsthand.
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.
Is there anyone in the world that says that this is boring or stupid. Who are those people that start a war who are those people that say kill the Jewish, hate the black or white or the one's who denies science and says that god has invented everything

@DesolateGrunt We may be few and far between in our persistent belief of Sagan's words, but what is paramount is that we remain as such, and pass the wonders of the universe and our curiosity on so that we may prosper as a species.

@DesolateGrunt It's not that they are ignorant. For the time there is far more important things for us to do down here on earth before we will be ready to continue our voyage into the cosmos. We need a stronger global economy, unity, and newer technology, such as fusion/fission engines.But space calls to humans. As Isaac Asimov once said Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly. I'm sure Carl would understand.

@CommStarcraft There will always be problems on earth, by your logic we will never venture out to space.
lonelyconstellation 1 month ago
@lonelyconstellation I don't see how you get that. For now the problems outweigh the gains. In the future there will be fewer problems, the costs of space travel will decrease as technology and societies evolve. As I listed in my last posts but I will reiterate: Global unity, economy, scientific illiteracy, and technology specifically in the way of space vessels for now. We need to find a way to continuously accelerate or utilize nuclear fission/fusion. Problems here will not always hold us back

@DesolateGrunt At my school I have tried to introduce the work of Sagan to my peers. Only 1 of these peers has actually embraced his words of intelligence. The rest disregard him and think his views are "stupid". I am currently working with my friend to launch a balloon with cameras into the stratosphere and the question we are always faced with is why? I never really know how to answer because there is no real aim to this project other than to marvel at the beauty of the world and the explore.

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.

@DesolateGrunt But space travel is a waste of money. All around the world people are dying of starvation, rape, sickness, and war, yet people consider spending billions upon billions of dollars going into space, and all for what? To see balls of gas and large rocks? Space in this time isn't needed. Later, yes, space travel and exploration will be a must, but now, no. I love space more than the next guy, but in this time, its selfish and wasteful to go into space.

@420n0sc0p3serryday We need to colonize space now. Also you can't use the laughable amount of money directed for space exploration for these issues and expect a change.I can't express the whole message in 500 characters because i'm not good enough of a writer. Watch "Neil deGrasse Tyson at UB: What NASA Means to America's Future" it will provide you with everything you need to understand. Peace.

Nice strawman. The funding of space programs does not preclude the battle against impoverishment, starvation, war, discrimination or whatever bullshit you use as an argument against progress. If anything, you should be attacking the immense amount of money that goes into war, which utterly dwarfs current space budgets (as you would have saw at the end of the video if you actually watched it.
Also, research into space is far from useless, it being what helped discover the MRI.

420n0sc0p3serryday 3 weeks ago
@420n0sc0p3serryday Yo have any idea how much money is given to this countries with people dying of starvation? It's enough believe me, why does this not solve the problem? corruption mostly, but as you can see it's not because of the lack of money that this remains unsolved. When people say we need to colony other planets, they never mean: we have to do it in this decade. They mean it is time to begin the long process that will make it possible.
Nickname1718 3 weeks ago 2
@Nickname1718 It took a decade for one of the most powerful nations focusing 100% on it and taking a lot of risks to make it to the moon. It's not likely that such focus will be used again in anything. This slows down more the stuff that needs to be done. Talking about money, do you think all that money actually needs to be "invested" in military stuff? I mean with half of that money you could have a healthy space program running but they keep cutting NASA's resources even more.

Carl Sagan, was by far, one of the greatest scientists, thinkers and in many ways, philosophers of our time. He saw where our future lay and his death was a profound loss to all mankind. One day, I hope that our descendants can forgive us our ignorance and short comings and lack of foresight. One can look up into the sky and see the edge of forever and the backbone of night across the night sky. None of us here, must lose hope that we will one day embrace it as a species and leave our cradle.

I am 15 and I found Carl Sagan at a young age, he changed my life in a way that nothing in school could ever do. I love seeing the world through a different perspective. No one of my age shares the views I have, and I can't hold a conversation with anyone on these things. But I have learned to being introspective and explore my thoughts on my own. I lost that dream for awhile, but recently life has put me back on the trail. This is the stuff that makes you a well rounded human. Not an award.
