Dr. Lucky TranToday is a good day to remember that Carl Sagan was as outspoken about the dangers of war and nuclear weapons as he was an advocate of space exploration.
Human Brain Enthusiast@luckytran perhaps his death was when the timeline deviated from what it should have been
EndicottRoad59@luckytran He was right!

thriftwicker@luckytran Hail Sagan.
ToshenA few years ago when I came across this snippet, I did some searching and found that the video and transcript of the original one-hour episode (Cosmos, episode 13, Dec 21, 1980, Who Speaks for Earth? by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan) is available via the Library of Congress. It's a powerful video.
Epistomai@luckytran as Neil DeGrasse said in a CBC interview this week: it was for geopolitical purposes the first Moon landing, and is the same now, against China
//EDIT: not for space exploration, really

Dr Carl Sagan said, "trillions," in this clip, but he did NOT say, "millions and billions."
I haz a disappoint.

A_MinionThe next major war with nuclear weapons will take about 7 minutes from beginning to end. It took 4.5 billion years to get here and an eye blink to be gone.
Here's a song from the 60's sorta says what needs to be said.
