Am I the only one who tears up when I hear this?

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 19 10:15:21 2011 No.3764400 I do, but not because of the song itself. But because I'll never be 12 years old and watching Cosmos for the first time. It also reminds me that I'll never into space.

>>3764471

I have noticed that. Sagan was a great guy, smart and intuitive. He had a great way of explaining things.

However, I don't know if he went about it the right way. He didn't teach too many of the fundemental concepts - however, that was never really his goal was it?

Either way, Sagan was almost as good as Asimov and, if there were a hell, they would both be there looking at the stars together (no homo).

>>3764492
I don't think you would watch anything Sagan did to get educated. It's more to just open you up to the ideas and for those who are interested to go from there. Fundamental concepts weren't needed.

That's what I fucking loved about Cosmos. It wasn't "let's start here, then learn this and apply it, and then keep building on it", instead it was "I'm Carl Sagan and this is some shit that I find interesting."

It just jumped around from one interesting thing to another and if you wanted to learn more, you look it up later.

this is the saddest thing i've ever seen
it's like einstein dying before he got a good look at the eclipse, or when that guy who came up with plate tectonics died in like the 30s and no one believed him until like the 70s
