Today I was honored to attend a special invitation event at the Library of Congress to celebrate Carl Sagan. Speakers included Seth MacFarlane who wondered out loud why evolution deniers don't also question gravity an equally accepted scientific theory. Neil deGrasse Tyson reminded us all the Carl was in the room with us as long as we try to educate people about science in a civil and engaging way. Ann Druyan Carl's wife and life partner talked about 20 revolutions around the sun they shared together and his laugh which is traveling out in to the cosmos on the voyager spacecraft. The same voyager space craft that Carolyn Porco reminded us of Carl's reasons for wanting to photograph A pale blue dot. She unveiled the newest Pale Blue Dot recently taken by Cassini in July 2013.
Need Carl Sagan say more.
He worked his life energy to help help humanity come together and grow. His friends remember him as both a humble and great thinker. Observers like myself see a superhero of unparalled passion, drive and knowledge.
