Interview with ABC News as Voyager II Reaches Saturn [Carl Sagan Archives, Part 1]

[CzechDetectingChap]

I'm sure this got the GOP pissed off...

[djmana]

No dislikes.... Thats huge..... And posted in 2011..... Where do i meet people like you?

[djmana]

We need more people like Carl .

[fidefreestyle]

did he say "the 5th planet, Earth"?

[djmana]

@fidefreestyle I believe he said "5th smallest planet" although now Pluto is considered a dwarf planet amongst many others in the Kuiper belt, knocking Pluto out of the planet status...... which makes Earth the 4th smallest planet (under this new definition)..... 1. Mercury, 2. Mars, 3. Venus.... then 4. Earth...... in size.... not distance from Solaris Maximus..... (or minimus...... or medius..... whatever fuck).... lol

[djmana]

@djmana Solaris is still "maximus" in my books.....

[Jeberval]

Callum, what a wonderful work!

Thanks man.

[forcadopensamento]

A man like that should live over a hundred years.

[ZachRose88]

That smile at :20 puts a huge smile on my face almost instantaneously. How could it not?

[shaedies]

The "So what?" answer deserves its own clip.

[exploadingpenguins]

"Can I spend a minute or two on the so what?"

"Uh, try the minute."

"Okay...(FFFUCK YOU!!)"

And 5 brilliant answers in that minute. SUCK IT TED!

[Holgmeister]

0 people are n...oh wait.

[sage11x]

When Ted asked: "So what?" I was reminded of how small minded our species still is.

[silversobe]

Love the updated discoveries next to this interview.

[ilee9624]

Carl Sagan's hair looks like mine- Fuck YES

[KemaTheAtheist]

I want the news to allow for Scientists to speak at length like this again. It's sad that we've been reduced to listening to sound bites.

Thank you for posting this. I grew up watching Mr. Sagan's videos. He was/is truly a great example of what mankind is capable of. We have truly lost our way. This video has only 1400 views, yet if it had Snooki or Justin Bieber in it, there would be a couple million. Very sad.

[ChristiRich]

I see that Ted Koppel was asking the same determinedly dumb questions as he did throughout his career. Thankfully, Carl's classy articulation saved the interview.

[BornInThe20thCentury]

He's amazingly articulate. Looking forward to further clips.

[ErlofCambridge]

Point 5 really got me - a peaceful endeavour. I really worry that our 24/7 ditzy opinion driven world will destroy this quest. Thankyou for keeping these ideals on record for our children, and theirs, and theirs ad finitum. Good one cobber!

[xsni]

hell yes

[dahudlefthanded]

The abc.com bug in the corner is a bit disconcerting in footage from 1981.

[Zentz29]

such a great mind. its sad that hes gone

[Rotorzilla]

this is amazing I remember watching this on the TV!! Amazing!!!

[shawnsonium]

I'm not sure if you added the "Did you know?" bubbles or not, but Voyager 1 and 2 are 17 and 14 billion, not trillion, kilometers from the Earth. If it were trillion, it would mean they were ~1.8 and ~1.5 light years away, which is almost half-way to the next nearest star, which is not the case. This video is still outstanding. I am a huge fan of your channel.

[callumCGLP]

@shawnsonium Urgh! Thank you so much for pointing that out. I did write them - I was so paranoid that I had made a typo somewhere! I've made a correction with an annotation. Thanks again!

[itsnotascooner]

I just want to thank you for putting these vids together. Sagan was an amazing scientist and man and it is wonderful to have your videos available to watch to remind myself of that fact from time to time. Peace.

[rafaelwaa]

BEAUTIFUL 

[mobius1234]

MOAR

[wristawareness]

Where are all the good scientists giving one on one interviews with major news networks over significant progress today? Now you would see "both sides", or none, some congressman took pictures of his junk.

[tehjow]

Amazing, I love the little Updates you included.

I love Sagan to death but you could make a drinking game out of the amount of times he says 'uhh' in this :P

[Arikiel]

Though largely unrealized we as a species have great potential.

In my mind Carl exemplifies that human potential more then any other.

He reminds me that while flawed we are not beyond "redemption".

[mmaman00]

Thank you for creating this channel Callum. If only more people could appreciate Carl Sagan, the world would be a better place.

[realjuancho]

And hes waiting like a BOSS

[bobster451]

Cool!

[MrWajax]

Carl Sagan is my hero!

[percyth11]

I is just absolutely incredible how eloquent he is! 

[DoMiNaToR2465]

Beautiful - thank you

[ShaolinViolin]

The great thing about Carl is that he can make a complicated idea small enough to fit in your hand and accessible to everyday normal people. He never tried to baffle people with verbose bullshit -he just dazzled us with his brilliance.

[WindScar48]

Truly remarkable video, thank you so much for posting it. And now, why are we still here? We have worlds to explore and share. Our home lies among the suns, for we are "star stuff". "The sky calls to us"!

Carl Sagan lives on in our hearts...

[comface]

Carl bitchslapped the viewership with his answer to the "So what?" question. Sagan for life!

[djmana]

@comface yeah....... for real..... he is a real consciousness raiser..... and I emphasize the IS..... his consciousness transcends the 3rd dimension....

[franksters08]

If Carl was still alive and ran for president, we would of already put humans on Mars

[TRYCLOPS1]

@franksters08 Oh man you're so right! If only a US presidential candidate like him would make it through the primaries and that is on a winning party (But not republican of course lol), I will so vote for him! Hell I'll even pay people to vote for him! xD This guy is just amazing. Why didn't I know about him when I was a kid, it would've changed my life. I would have looked up to him. This is someone people should look up to. Society would be a lot better and happy too! Peace!

[Etrajbe]

@franksters08 If any man; not blinded by false treasures, religion, hate and intolerance and greed. And was a strong spirit interested in truth and freedom, science. we wouldnt have our wars, and yes, be would be beyond Mars.

[breakinspeed]

Amazing.
