Why does no one ever identify themselves?! Sagan asks them to every single time!

@profsat5 The future may look dim, in America; however, there are many foreign countries that are focusing on the sciences such as China, Japan, German, and most of Europe. So if Americans cannot develop a respect in the sciences and philosophy you could always move to countries that have more respect along with a brighter future for scientists.

@CrazyguiRafaruto sorry but how does it seem bright for science? not to be rude but I think its fare to say the darker common society gets the less it will use and therefore fund science for meaningful purposes, i don't think we can have a bright science in a dark society, the less they care about science the less money they'll give to support it lol

@astronivo20XX I sympathize... and I envy your teacher! Although Carl and I shared the earth for quite a few years, I also never saw him in person. How I would have loved to be his student! In a way, of course, I was. Through Cosmos, his books, and these wonderful videos, he teaches me still. Indeed a great man. The world needs someone today with his rare mix of attributes: intelligence, vision, skepticism, open-mindedness, knowledge, skillful communication, enthusiasm, wisdom, and compassion.

Most young people I know are not interested in science much less a man named Carl Sagan. They love the lottery and being rich like their favorite sports or music idol.
The future looks dim.

I like how he immediately demands the first speaker identify himself lol..."Halt. I am Lord Sagan of the Cosmos. Identify yourself, Humanoid!"

I asked my astronomy teacher if she's ever met Carl Sagan. She said "many times" and that her husband was his student. I felt closer to Sagan for some reason. Great man! I am just very unfortunate to be young because I won't be able to see him in person. :(

I find it so difficult and frustrating to know that people of my generation (im 20) now Know Jersey Shore'Douchebags name and life; and dont even know M. Sagan...
The future seems bright for science; but ... so dark for common society.

EXCELLENT.
CARL SAGAN was the wise man of the 20th century.
He is an inspiration for us. We miss him dearly.

"Could you identify yourself?" = "HOW DARE YOU ADDRESS THE ALMIGHTY SAGAN IN SUCH AN INFORMAL MANNER!"
