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!

  • @gerard1875 check out Brian Cox... BBC the wonders of the universe. He isnt carl sagan but he is one of the closest things you will find in modern times

  • Darn hard to find the tale of the kid that was drowned by grandma, when you have no idea how to spell it. haha  Oh shit.

  • televison at its best. Carl Sagan made science interesting for me. If only he was still alive today we would have a better understanding of science and would enjoy it.

    thank you Mr Sagan for the rich legacy you left. A legacy far richer than money and more interesting and I hope longer lasting.

  • @krapptacular You're absolutely right. It is indeed incredible, and exciting when you ponder it; not just in terms of humans, or even life, but everything. This is why I love this series, and Carl Sagan's view of the universe.

    Also, I'm glad no one has misunderstood my joke thus far.:)

  • @Teeg82 In 300 million years humans might not look like we do now. It blows your mind to think about it, i know. Animals are always in the process of evolution.

  • Can a samurai warrior evolve the face of a crab?

  • I love Carl Sagan.

  • natural selection made by human for the crabs. very nice ideia

  • first
