I am unlucky that I came to know about Carl Sagan after he died, but I am very much lucky that I came to know about him before I die.

I agree that Sagan died much too young. He should have lived at least another 10-15 years.

To be a freethinker in this world, amidst a torrent of misguided and erroneous credulity, is to be in a way inexorably alone. Misgivings about the present and future constantly lingering just below the surface. Gnawing at what hope one may be capable of mustering in the face of adversity. To overcome this is to be no less than a giant among men.

Carl overcame this affliction of circumstance. He did so with resolve. Maintaining his integrity of character and his class. He was truly an inspiration. He was a man to be admired and emulated. Admired not only for his intellect, his eloquence, or diversity of skills, but his courage to be a candle in the dark for us all.

As an inspiration to myself
and countless others,
he is missed.

Carl Sagan really cared about the future of our race,He made a huge effort to explain to us in simple terms very complicated ideas.
Not only did he convey the laws of our universe to us but he tried to persuade us to look after our planet for future generations and made us believe that in the future we may well travel to other worlds.
I think he must surely be remembered as one of the greatest minds to have ever lived.

Thank you Carl.

Thank you Carl, for openning our eyes!!

We all miss you.

A giant left the pale blue dot and will be missed. A man who helped me to think for myself.

Even though it was not his best work, “A Candle in the Darkness” got me thinking as an adult, about just how much we let fly without challenging it. As a child I was in awe of Cosmos, and recently I saw Cosmos again, and I was amazed at how much it stood the test of 30 years. I immediately purchased it for my nieces and nephews, as it so well connects with children. If it weren’t for Carl Sagan, I wouldn’t at least try to look at this world more critically.

Thanks a lot for your article. Carl Sagan also taught me to be skeptic. It has been a wonderful lesson to confront the entire life.I always will miss mister Sagan forever.
