    Proud? of what? Being born, completely by historical accident (outside of your control), in a place were other people, did something cool a long time ago?

  • @datalal624 My thoughts exactly. Is that language not beautiful?

  • What's wrong with his pronunciation of Madagascar? At least in England; It's pronounced exactly like he said it.

  • Magellan was portuguese, but the expedition was from the kingdom of Spain, it was a spanish expedition. The king Carlos I, believed in Magellan after he failed with the portuguese king, and gave him the money and the ships. Actually Magellan did not finished the expedition, a spanish sailor named El Cano, did. The Spanish expedition was the first in sailing all the way around this... blue globe.

  • It was a SPANISH expedition, not portuguese.

  • "The Dutch knew that the unrestrained pursuit of profit posed serious threats to the soul of the nation."

    This is something that America, and all extant nations today, should remember always. It is wisdom so easily forgotten these days.

  • Sagan distill's that passion for the very large aspects of science in a way that Feynman does it for the crazy-as-hell aspects of the very small and (IMO) the way Brian Greene does it for the smaller still... Now for the mathematics of all these things... AWAY!!! :p

  • not many of him, if any

  • as a geneticist i can say that carl sagan makes me proud to be a scientist. he restores my faith in all things beautiful and reaffirms my hopes for humanity. how can the world be that bad when it produces people like him?

  • Kinda makes me proud to be Dutch. Though the Dutch has a dark history some might not be so proud of.

    I agree with below, once God is put aside, you're open to the world as such as humans first discovered we were part of a solar system. Or discoverd the world wasn't really flat..
