Cosmos: A Personal Voyage - Episode 7 (Carl Sagan)

[dadov]

I saw this while randomly looking for other stuff - ended up with tears.

Moon (the movie) and Cosmos makes me cry.

"If we do not destroy ourselves..."

[rymixxx]

"The *right* kind of book."

Carl = legend.

[NulledMorals]

He reminds me of Jeff Goldblum so much for some reason. :D

[MrAtomic2000]

Carl was a very cold guy he sits in Greece with his jacket and pants on, when the greeks behind him has t-shirts and shorts on, and they sweat.

[jcrezonna]

In our praise of this guy as a wonderfully insightful and articulate scientist, we shouldn't forget that he was also an absolutely first rate historian too. The historical narrative in this series is magnificent.

Cool props at 52:00

[plhcdrcb]

those children are very lucky

[anneyre]

Thank you, Spoon Hysteria, for uploading the Cosmos series.

The Cosmos series is still beautiful and a joy to watch.

Thank you for your time and efforts!

[SillyLitleGirl]

I often stop and think how much more advanced we would be if not for religious powers actively destroying all things scientific. It agonizes me that we allowed ourselves to be so ignorant and blind, and still continue to do so to this day.

[BigFatHeretic]

I love this series of videos. It was first released back in 1980 on PBS. When I watch COSMOS, I not only see ad hear it, I can feel it. COSMOS is the most beautiful and inspiring program I have ever seen. Who can possibly top this?

3:45 gave me really intense goosebumps

[RichardCyberPunk]

When i looked at the stars when i was 13 years old, i knew , that timetravel is possible. Even when humans, yet have not the knowledge. Still i was looking at the past of several stars at night, because light travels with a certain speed. I was looking at their past. And they were looking at our past. The cosmos is large. We are not alone anymore. Thanks to ....

[EnvyAbomination]

Wow. That last scene in that classroom was awesome.

[Draffknk]

"YOU'RE part of the Milky Way."

That kid's mind was BLOWN.

[PairInstabilityType]

'the stars had to be far away.. further away than manhattan, further away probably than new jersey' :L

[googlestb]

It's cool seeing my neighborhood 20 years ago when I was still a baby, the only thing that seems to be the same tho is the train

[irishfinger]

Seeing a genius such as Sagan in that 6th grade class was such an awesome thing to me.. I was amazed to see the kids so enthusiastic about other worlds as I am. Terrible thing that my generation is so ignorant to such things.. It saddens me so greatly... Can there be so few people like me left? So few people of my generation and younger who are truly inspired by this?

[Vhurex]

I'm profoundly jealous of those students. I wish I could have had Sagan visit my school when I was a kid.

[FrapsYou]

:(( where is knowledgible people like this where is?

[DanDenali]

Mr. Sagan is a visionary and a guru. I would have loved to have him as a teacher. Dude is cool even if he dresses like Mr. Rogers.

[ashland1977]

We need Carl Sagan more today than ever. I am sure he would have a few words on our space program in 2011.

[maximilianitoaguirre]

wow no fat kids in that class room! how old is this video? 80s?

[ashland1977]

@maximilianitoaguirre Around 1979/1980

[LegereBen]

@maximilianitoaguirre The Cosmos series was filmed in 1975. It is by far one of my favorite TV series ever that has yet to be matched in quality.

[callumAS]

@maximilianitoaguirre 52:13 and 52:31

So sure? Or were you being sarcastic?

[maximilianitoaguirre]

@callumAS not at all mate. those are only 2 overweight kids (not fat) among 30 in the classroom. now a days american schools are not even close to that rate...

[callumAS]

@maximilianitoaguirre Not where I am.

[SkyFortStudios]

@maximilianitoaguirre what about red riding there at 5:52 ?

[MEATYOKERRable]

"By the time you are about my age, we will know if there are planets around the other stars"

Prophetic

[simbakafiri]

@MEATYOKERRable prophetic not...common sense for any thinking person YES

[MEATYOKERRable]

Carl Sagan would have been an amazing teacher.

[TheNatealator]

@MEATYOKERRable would have? He was! I think I know what you mean, though.

[FrapsYou]

@MEATYOKERRable I would love too. I miss this guy.

[NotDuncan]

What a lucky class to have Carl Sagan as their teacher, even for a day!

[Sambo8000]

One the best videos shared between two best friends smoking a joint watching Carl's lifework presentation.

[ColdGrass87]

@Sambo8000 amen! haha

[lefatava]
