::My first introduction to Carl Sagan came in 1980 when ''Cosmos'' first aired on PBS. Both informative and inspirational, it made some long lasting impressions on me. [[User:Brewer13210|Brewer13210]] 09:19, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

:::I was 3 when Cosmos came out, and I still remember sitting with my father, in the dark, watching the 'spaceship of the mind' hurdling through space, visiting the planets. Ah, memories...I know that is the impetus behind my interest in science. [[User:WesleyS|WesleyS]][[User Talk:WesleyS|<sup>Hello!</sup>]] 21:18, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:::::I too have fond memories of the first time I watched ''Cosmos''. One of the most inspiring and interesting shows on television (notwithstanding special effects which by today's standards could only be described as hokey). He was someone who was clearly enthralled by what he did and who sought to ignite the interest of his audience in the beauty and wonder of the universe. A great man. --[[User:TCochrane|TCochrane]] 21:43, 3 December 2008 (EST)
::::Billions and billions ... it's enough to curdle your milk. Hey, remember when Carl Sagan debated [[Fred Singer]] about the Kuwaiti oil fires being like [[nuclear winter]]? Singer treated Sagan's dire prediction as a hypothesis and said let's wait a week and see if it's correct. It turned out Sagan's hypothesis was wrong. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 21:23, 3 December 2008 (EST)
