Cosmos - Carl Sagan

November 20, 2006

These Cosmos DVDs should be required viewing for all the people of our planet. Truly mind blowing and inspirational.

When ever I’m feeling a little depressed, I like to pop these in and trip out (no drugs required). I was afraid these might feel dated, but it stands the test of time brilliantly.

Carl Sagan rules. A true American hero.

Anyone see “Desparate Crossings - the untold story of the MayFlower” last night? That was pretty cool too.

Thanks.
I hadn't thought about the DVD's. I have read the book though. Carl Sagan had a deep gift. Beyond the insight, his prose was so clear and elegant.
Best regards,
Joel

Well, finally someone who feels the same about Cosmos as me. I treat those DVDs like a holy bible for me. Whenever I need inspiration, whenever I feel down about mundane stuff, I watch Cosmos. It is much more than a science documentary.
