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!

  • One of the most brilliant and inspiring scientific series ever, even if some of the information is dated by today's standards. Carl Sagan's passion for the cosmos, for life, and for knowledge continue to inspire me even though I've watched this countless times.

  • @devikwolf --Me too. He died far too young.
