@callumCGLP

Carl Sagan is one of my heroes that I look up to. Well the top one at that, and it means alot that you would go through the effort to make this series. My familly and some of my freinds became interested in science because of them. Mainly for The Story of Everything [Carl Sagan Tribute Series, Part 11] . That one makes them say "wow"

[callumCGLP]

@MillenniumRequiem Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that your friends and family have enjoyed the series too, and that these videos opened their eyes to science. I won't run out of Sagan material for a while. In fact, I have two videos in production now, and another three or four in the pipeline too. But, in any case, I will be launching a new series in a couple of weeks, and another one when I run out of Sagan material. I'll be doing this for a good long time, don't worry :)

The term "A Beautiful Mind" is made for people like Carl Sagan.
