Carl Sagan, as a great scientist and great atheist, a person who lived with reality will live in my heart forever. When I have kids, I will tell them that " not so long time ago, there was a great man, a great scientist, a great skeptic, a great atheist Carl Sagan, who made science very exciting and interesting to people and tried to change the humanity and help them to get out of delusion and make them live with reality, but he still couldn't do it, but I can do it, you and we all can do it! "

This segment does no justice to the life of Carl Sagan. Sagan accomplished so much in his life; it's a sin to spend three quarters of the segment bellowing about his illnesses and marriage problems. He deserves a Nobel Peace Prize and a movie made about his amazing and altruistic life. We love you Carl.

Apparently Carl's intelligence wasn't good enough to ascertain that he shouldn't get married for a third time. It just goes to show that being highly intelligent has not only its limits, but some types of intelligence are seen as more valuable that others, even though the only empirical evidence for such is sexual and financial success, the former being transitory and the latter being artificial. Think about this next time someone boasts of having a post graduate degree.
I wish I could have met this man, His name will be a permanent word in science. I too, miss this man and the work he has done for the advancement of the human species. After 12 years, he is still a star and will always be a star in most everyone's eyes. I hope that politics and religion gets out of the way of science and let us continue to grow in knowledge and technology that people like this enriches us with. (GET RELIGION AND POLITICS OUT NOW!!!)
I can recommend the book mentioned at 6:20, "The Demon Haunted World", co written by Carl Sagan and Ann Druan. It includes what Carl called "The baloney detection kit", an essential tool for clear logical thinking.
i think instead of givin choice between a line of rich white men, the people should give suggestions on who would be the best candidate out of ANYone, and then we should choose from them.
THE9MILEHUG: Funny you said that ("jai guru deva"). Tomorrow at 7PM EST US, NASA is using their deep space network to beam the Beatles song "Across The Universe" at Polaris, the North Star.
humanity needs a rational guiding light .. thankyou Carl for changing our understanding... I am changed & enlightened. enlightenment is our path to the future.
Thanks so much for posting this. Only yesterday I finay got to visit Carl's grave in Ithaca. As it turns out, his former house is right there near the cemetery. His grave isn't easy to find, certainly not under 3 feet of snow. I cleared it of snow and plan to post more here on YouTube.
Anyone else think that his last words on this vid are spookily prophetic?

LOL, fuck the national academy of science. Feynman said it best, just an organization who spends a lot of time thinking who is worthy enough to join.

HBO needs to make a movie based on Carl like they did with Temple Grandin, Dr. Kvorkian, and John Adams etc.

Or as Carl said, "If you want to be important, do something important".
He suggested the ecological sciences as the place to be to several people who asked him for advice.
