Cosmos Episode 5: Blues for a Red Planet Part 1 of 7

[VisceralMajesty]

That was a pretty creative montage sequence during the first War of the Worlds narration, showing the telescopic technology of the "martians", and using a frog eye to represent a martian eye.

Sagan gives me an intellectual boner.

If I had to watch one television series for the rest of my life, it would be Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Hands down.

Plutonians are teh suck!

Is that Holst I hear yes, yes it is. They really chose a good soundtrack.

[jeevesbond]

@legoflamb Considering this was made in 1980, I expected a soundtrack that consisted of the worst of the 70s and the worst of the 80s combined. I'm *so* glad that didn't happen.

It actually seems like they put a lot of effort into making this timeless, not tying it into any era.

It's an excellent bit of film making.

Thank you carl for your gift of wisdom to the human race!!!!! Makes me want to cry knowing he is no longer with us:( May he rest in peice.

[scienceandreasoniluv]

[godlessbob]

I wonder what would Carl think today? I'm a Saganite and I'm grateful for all of your Sagan vids..thanks very much!

[Crazygeneral]

I wish more people would watch these videos.

[mikeyman211]

Loving this documentary series. One q though. does he only have one change of clothes?

[tuotierugif]

Yes, Carl Sagan only owned one outfit in his lifetime.

:P

[AsifVidios]

It is a TV trick. You only ware one or two outfits when on camera so when they edit the footage you don't keep changing.

Bless your cotton socks
