The Carl Sagan Exoplanet Fellowship

[plasterdbastard]

I first met Carl Sagan when I had placed four pieces of blotter paper under my tongue and played a tape of him explaining the pale blue dot.

I dropped out of high school, went down a road of destruction, and then came back to get a degree in engineering. I never would have come back if it hadn't been for Carl Sagan's words having forever been forever burned into my consciousness.

We should all carry Carl's fire.

The world of Carl Sagan has always taken me places, infinite places so I cannot recall the journey.

Cough. I think he got it from us. And we got it from NASA. :-)

Sagan envisioned an "encyclopedia" of worlds all across this galaxy. Try and look up "exoplanet" in the modern-day "Library of Alexandria" that is Wikipedia; there are the first stirrings of a *real* Encyclopedia Galactica...

...except that Wikipedia is very unreliable.

I refer you to Wikipedia's laughable (computer science) definition for sprite, and the definition for lingually-abusive words like "pescetarian". One could write a book about what's wrong with Wikipedia. It's fundamental problem being, it values popular culture and it's notions of "fact" over expertise.
