Carl Sagan was a scientific genius. He was a pioneer in space exploration. He was also incredibly articulate (breaking the stereotype that scientists are cold and lack human compassion). He hosted a television program "Cosmos" and wrote an amazing book The Pale Blue Dot.
His words are beautiful and poetic. There is no way that I can describe what Dr. Sagan's words are really like, so instead I will have you listen to them. Reid Gower has compiled quotes from Sagan's audio-book, and placed them along side music and significant pictures. The effect is amazing.
The video is short, so I think it's is more than reasonable to ask for you to sit and listen intently for the three and a half minutes. If you can, just listen and consider what Dr. Sagan says. If you do this I promise you won't regret it.
If you enjoy this, there are 8 more videos like it. Also Cosmos is available on Netflix, and The Pale Blue Dot is available pretty much all over the place.
