The Cosmos is all that is, ever was, and ever will be. Our contemplations of the Cosmos stir us.

There's a tingling the spine; A catch in the voice, a faint sensation as if a distant memory of falling from a great height.

We know we are approaching the grandest of mysteries.

During his lifetime, he published more than 600 scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor of more than 20 books. In his works, he advocated skeptical inquiry and the scientific method. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

Sagan lectured and did research at Harvard University until 1968, when he moved to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He became a full Professor at Cornell in 1971, and he directed the Laboratory for Planetary Studies there. From 1972 to 1981, Sagan was the Associate Director of the Center for Radio Physics and Space Research at Cornell.

Sagan was associated with the American space program from its inception. From the 1950s onward, he worked as an advisor to NASA, where one of his duties included briefing the Apollo astronauts before their flights to the Moon. Sagan contributed to many of the robotic spacecraft missions that explored the solar system, arranging experiments on many of the expeditions. He conceived the idea of adding an unalterable and universal message on spacecraft destined to leave the solar system that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find it. Sagan assembled the first physical message that was sent into space: a gold-anodized plaque, attached to the space probe Pioneer 10, launched in 1972. Pioneer 11, also carrying another copy of the plaque, was launched the following year. He continued to refine his designs; the most elaborate message he helped to develop and assemble was the Voyager Golden Record that was sent out with the Voyager space probes in 1977. Sagan often challenged the decisions to fund the Space Shuttle and Space Station at the expense of further robotic missions

Cosmos was amazing because it taught the main concepts of science itself with the universe merely as a backdrop. It was more about abstract concepts and learning about humanity rather than the universe we inhabit. It was simple, subtle, beautiful and very emotional. I miss the soothing effect it had.

I could take a stab at it, but it would take too long.
I'll just say I'd suspect it has a whole lot to do with the power struggle between heavily Protestant rural and more liberal Roman Catholic and Jewish urban areas keeping things in check. The story of the 18th Amendment and 21st Amendment are good examples of this power struggle... Somehow it all just works out.
