Sagan was good at one thing: science divulgation in the field of astronomy.
He made a fool of himself because of his celebrity personna, giving his opinion in fields he wasn't qualified.

Cosmos is still my favourite and influenced me greatly when growing up.

Cosmos was cool.  I'm sure there are a few scientist types at NASA now thanks to that show.

 Has anybody here ever read Steven Hawkings "A Brief History in Time"?  i've most of it on mp3 (3.5 hours of it but it cuts off :( )  man there is some DEEEEEEEP watermelon in there maaaaaan.  When he gets down to the quantom level talking about quarks and negative quarks and blueons and all the subparticles. :eek:  The freaky part is he explains it so even I can understand it.  Cool book anyway..... The prologue is by Carl Sagan.
