Carl Sagan's famous "Pale Blue Dot" quote...

[Gargoyle_Steve]

Spoken by the man himself, and backed by some great visuals.

Many of the clips on You-tube I find a bit lacking in style and class ..
this one stands out above the crowd.
Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did.

weird I read this and Carl is in a news item i viewed today - here's the quote from Kirsten Dunst

"My best friend Sasha's dad was Carl Sagan, the astronomer. He was the biggest pot smoker in the world and he was a genius."

Great clip Steve, Carl was a truly amazing man.
Sadly I haven't seen anyone yet to fill his big shoes and I don't think we ever will.

Cheers
