Today's post is short and sweet, just a short infographic I find awesome and truthful.

Last Interview Pt 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBkaP7EY5Us
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGI1D4sSxN8
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxeN6Wf7mbU
And of course the music video 'A Glorious Dawn': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc
I could go on and on, Youtube is full of these videos. You can easily fill your entire day watching them. Also, if you have Netflix, they have the Cosmos series available for streaming.

That picture made me laugh. The sad part is that it's true! Society worships people who go and get drunk on TV, rather than people like Sagan who are actually do work to advance the human race.
Carl Sagan is a badass. thanks for the vids!
I agree with your post
Carl Sagan is a cool dude.
I think you probably brought up one of the biggest points I've been trying to make in a long time. The fact that Carl Sagan's work is only relegated to PBS reruns is one of the biggest travesties in American culture. I still read Cosmos whenever I get the chance, and even special ordered a Spanish-language version for my wife.
If you wish to create an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
Who dem peoples?
Who would win on my blog?
No contest. I would HOPE!
i really dont know who the girl on the right is
Note: Carl Sagan is the guy on the left. On the right is the Snooki-beast of Jersey.
Carl Sagan was a very interesting man, the guy was an Astronomer, astro physicist, Cosmologist and Philosopher, heard his quotes? deep stuff man
Is it safe to say that he got an entire generation of people interested in Astronomy?
really cool links, ill make sure to have a watch! +follow
do you hate me only a little if i knew both?
Pretty interesting
Haha, yeah. That picture is true.
@rndmg123, no, I wouldn't hate you at all. Inconsequential pop culture stuff is all over the place. It's hard for people to not at least hear of that dirt bag somewhere on the internet, TV, or in magazines.
I don't know either of them. :|
I honestly have no idea who that chick is.
good vids, i have no clue who the chick is either.
What if I know that the guy on the left is Carl Sagan, and I have no idea about the girl on the right?
Nice set of videos, aha will watch when I'm done this school work ):
I know both...However, one is vastly different than the other haha...Great videos! They gave me goosebumps!
Starting the cosmos series now
haha o god! I hate jersey shore, even though I was born in jersey
Demon haunted world is my favoruite book of all time.
Haha, truth.
Snooki is nothing but a black hole filled with bronzer and juice head ejaculate ;)
isnt snooki like dark matter?
HAHAHAHA, Thundercat and Kim, I love you both right now. (You'll have to fight of my gf, kgp.)
You would have to hate billions and billions of people if that were actually the case. I know, he never actually said "billions and billions." But that is easily the best thing I've seen today. Followed.
Snooki is annoying.
I love the video of Snookie getting punched in the face. Also, Carl Sagan forever. :D
Really nihilistic, like it
Baxxmans
1000% true. Reality TV is everything that's wrong with entertainment today.
I love the "Glorious dawn". First time I saw it I actually cried. I've been wanting to watch "Cosmos" for years now, but never had the time (excuses, excuses...)
Thank god you included the music video! haha
Know both, love both.
My buddy at work showed me this pic. It is sad that some nobody with nothing to offer the world is more rich and famous than someone who actually made a huge contribution.
If you don't know who BOTH of those people are, you're either woefully devoid of education and curiosity, woefully disconnected from the rich details of human culture around you (even if they're idiotic details), or both.
Then again, maybe you just don't own a television, in which case you don't know who EITHER of those people are. You know, like the vast majority of your species.
Totally agree with you 100%...and actually had no idea who that chick was
GREAT POST!!!!!!! I agree 110010% with the sentiment. (I also didn't know who is on the right, and after finding out it's snooki, I actually care less than I did before I found out)
I like Sagan. He always seems so relaxed.
Carl Sagan, and an Oompa Loompa? (Seriously. I don't know who the second person is.)
I don't find carl sagan particularly important... maybe a little bit too overestimated, but that is just me
Carl Sagan was a genius. His lierature is amazing to read
