Carl Sagan - Cosmos Intro

The beautiful intro to the Cosmos television series. Carl Sagan talks about the universe and our place within it.

The intro music is an excerpt from "Heaven & Hell Part I" by Vangelis.

*NOTE 2: It appears Koch Entertainment (now "E1 Distribution") doesn´t wish to pull the video after all. I just got a private message basically saying they used the content search feature to place ads on the videos. Sounds like a sound approach, so yeah, hope you DON´T go bankrupt in the recession I guess :) And sorry about my ill-informed comments.

*NOTE 1 (The following does NOT apply any more, please see note 2 for clarification): "Koch Entertainment" has just filed a copyright-claim against this clip, so I don´t know for how much longer it stays up. I´d like to thank you all for your ratings and wonderful comments. Finally, I´d like to say FUCK YOU KOCH ENTERTAINMENT, for trying to remove something that has probably made 100+ people go out and buy the series on DVD. I hope you go bankrupt in the recession. Cheers.*
If you like, please write them an e-mail and tell them clips like these have encouraged lots of people to buy the thing:

I long to take a ride on Sagan's dandelion seed.

[threedotsdead]

We all love Carl, but post that filthy sexual innuendo elsewhere!

[linuxdude1]

I think the "dandelion seed" that they were refering to was Sagan's ship of imagination" that floats in space like a huge dandelion seed! It was seen near the beginning of the video.

Yeah I know ;)

[Jake VanTassel]

well fuck whoever decided to pull the copyright bullshit on the cosmos playlists.

[threedotsdead]

When did this happen? Koch entertainment?

[Xanatos712]

Just heard that a second series of Cosmos is in production and will be hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson. FUCK - THE HELL - YES!

[threedotsdead]

Nope, PBS doesn't have the rights. By the way, the company we're talking about was started by a different Koch from Austria, not the two American scumbags.

[Melissa McGrath]

Neil deGrasse Tyson has a lot to live up to ... He's filling some big shoes. RIP Sagan.

[Mighty Mo]

what a fucking legend!

[ShnackaCracka]

At least they're all on Netflix. :p
