  • Thanks for uploading this recording! Do you know when this took place?

  • It was a few months before he passed away in 1996. His last public speech, or so I've read.

  • What year is this?

  • 1996.

  • Carl Sagan was incapable of composing a dull sentence.

  • I would have loved to smoke a joint with this guy, and just talked. And yes, he was a pot smoker. It's strange that so many consider science 'lame', or 'geekish'. We live in a world where stupidity is rewarded, and intelligence prosecuted. The 21st century is bound to be a rough ride, if things continue as they are...

  • Hello, Im Peruvian. I understand English but sometimes its hard to do it without looking the person who is talking -some synesthesic thing, I believe- Will be great if you could put English subtitles so I will be able to get the mesagge.

    Thanks for this, by the way.

    Good vibes.

  • I wonder who today is the public science educator. Michio Kaku is good, but just doesn't quite have the humanist message.

  • its too bad he never lived to see the one night fractal formations. He lived in the time of simple mostly Simple UFO shaped circles. He was a god damn genius though. Contact was a better book then the stupid movie, I cant believe I read that damn thing lol

  • Sagan is my hero!

  • The key to success? A sensual, sexy smile and a turtleneck sweater.

  • his death proves.. there is no god!!

  • @Vollercaeie I thought it was from the CSICOP in Seattle in June of 1994, no?

  • @helloimRickyD Yes, Carl and his wife were pot smokers...

  • @pillsareyummy True true true. Sagan a pot smoker?
