Nov 29, 2008 - This is the most humbling video I have ever seen... If every single human on this planet watched this or simply just understood his message, I doubt we would ever feel the need to fight another war.. We need to preserve and cherish this pale blue dot.. The only home we have ever known..

Dec 1, 2008 - the shame with ideas like these are that the people that need to understand them most are the people who are least likely to ever hear them.

Dec 1, 2008 - Very much so! You can purchase several different releases of the album on CD - however if money isn't an issue, there is a Japanese import - a 20 bit remaster - which was released a couple of years ago which even reproduces the original album cover (front and back), and apparently has much improved sound quality over the original CD release.

Dec 1, 2008 - You don't find him poetic in his observations?

Dec 1, 2008 - If it makes you laugh, maybe your part of the problem... You are dearly missed Carl Sagan, the righteousness of your actions, teachings, and compassion will be remembered for generations.

Dec 1, 2008 - I want the music by itself though, it's so beautiful.

Dec 1, 2008 - You know what's amazing? I've read three of his books, and I hadn't heard his voice until now. It's much boomier than I expected. His writing is conversely very docile.

Dec 2, 2008 - This shows how a 3.5 minute video is a true work of art... It is amazing how men can accomplish something like this
mmencius Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - Haha, poetic? Long lists, long descriptions, adjectives that appeal to dumb people who watch melodrama and soap. A clone of this man helped write House.

Dec 2, 2008 - Dr. Carl Sagan was a genius, a poet, and a great human being.He helped to bring science to the masses.He inspired me to become a chemist. The idea that some troll, with no understanding of his accomplishments, has decided to come and attack his memory is disgusting. What have you ever done?What will you ever do? Nothing. So please continue spouting your ignorant, hateful thoughts.Maybe, some day, you'll realize that flaming will not get you the attention you want.

elninostorm Says:
Dec 4, 2008 - I think people misunderstand Carl's intent with this hallowed message. For all of you incessantly defending religion. Degrading it was not Carl's intention. His intention was to explain that it is truly 'up to us'. Until we receive empirical proof, we must learn to cooperate and look at the bigger picture. Something that so many people have a hard time doing. My 2 cents.
