I uploaded Carl Sagan's Cosmos because this is what the internet, at its best, is all about. But I never expected the comments I would see! It seems like every day I get comments from people talking about how special Carl was, what he meant to them, how he changed their lives, etc. Every comment brings a smile to my face. I'm very proud to say the comments to these videos have become a virtual shrine to a great man who is obviously still missed by millions.

As for me, I first watched Cosmos when I was 10 years old. It had a profound impact on me that lasts to this day. For years, I thought I should become a scientist as a result. That never worked out, and I ultimately chose a very different career path, but Carl's thinking still permeates my intellectual character: his rationality, his skepticism, his deep-felt love of humanity, and, most importantly, his enduring optimism.

Enjoy! And please keep those wonderful comments coming!

  • I wish everyone was able to see this. To fully understand what we are doing, to let go of out ignorance towards the earth we live on today. For this is our only home in the vast emptiness of space.

  • Gee, I wish I had a tail of light following me wherever I go, but I guess Carl Sagan is just that awesome :) 18:18

  • I whish that they would reair this show.

  • The music is from Igor Stravinski's Rite of Spring. One thing Carl said in here that just can't be right, can it? That craters on the moon had been "eroded". Huh?

  • It is Grand Funk Railroad's I'M YOUR CAPTAIN! In Seventh Grade's Art Class of Mr. Bayat at Buchanan Junior High School for a short Time only I was named CAPTAIN KUNDRAT! That was way back in 1971 when Apollo 14's Alan Shephard, Stu Roosa, and Edgar Mitchel traversed the Moon!

  • let Them take that Ship away from Me....! I'm the Captain...I'm getting closer to my Home(isn't it odd? I just now can't remember the name of this Rock Song or the Band that compose and played this! Every other time I've known but now! But I can think of the Book:Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth by Buckminster Fuller(the Classic of 1969 when Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins went to the Moon!) I close this thus in Awareness and knowledge rather than Ignorance'n'shrouding Mist!

  • I guess I have an informal Irish nickname:KUNRAT added to my family Name KUNDRAT! KUNRAT in Irish denotes"Wisdom"!(my mother's middle name is Sophia-the Greek word for Wisdom!) My last name KUNDRAT in Polish means "Bold Advice" while in German "Public Counsel(Der Kund Rat{schluss} much like Steubenville's deceased Dave Fortunato....The classicalized Kundratis,which I coined myself, denotes any public Ship or Ship of State(the Latin Ratis denotes a Boat or raft:You better Think about it!

  • Warnings about what We as Human Beings have been doing to our only Home in the Cosmos! But then there's St. John's Bookm of Revelation- a Masterpiece of "Twenty-two"ness! "Do not hurt the Grass and the Trees until We have

  • Comet Parties The Movie's ominous Comet struck the Downtown city with a peculiar Orange Fog! This was only a work of Fiction for a sci-fi Thriller, but in Sydney, Australia the almost exact same thing happenned a few Summers ago But without a Comet! The entire City got enveloped in this peculiarly blinding Orange Smog! Not one thing could be seen while it enveloped the City! I can only thing about the careless Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill as our Litmus Test as to how we have heeded Carl Sagan's
