I am watching Cosmos hosted by Carl Sagan......he is my hero. I am quite a bit older than many of you and you may not like it but, turn on The Discovery channel right nowand you will see one of the great minds of the past 100 years and the best public broadcast ever. Enjoy :smile:

Have you read his essay on pot? I think he was a bit of a stoner :rasta:

I am a big fan of science and astronomy. I read cosmos, and it was ok. The documentry I found to be a complete bore. Long winded, and not very educational.

ahh, so other than the great science, thats why I was so absorbed by Cosmos when I was a teen. I knew there was a correlation.

Carl Sagan is my hero too! :happyheart:

All his writings are excellent, but the one that had the biggest impact on my life was 'The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark'.

That book really got my interest going in science, and the critical-thinking skills he teaches are invaluable!

Yeah.  By far my favorite work of non-fiction.

One of the most interesting things I found about the Cosmos series was in the forward of the Cosmos DVDs that stated that even after all this time, very little of the information needed correcting after all this time.

And yes, Carl Sagan was a cannibus user.  He glances by the subject in many of his writings and in the biography I read on him, it's stated without a doubt.

Carl Sagan is a bad-ass.

The book is better than the series, the book IS educational.

Carl Sagan is a bad-ass.

What more can be said, he as well, help turn me on to science.
