BHA is the best. I saw him live in Alaska about 10 years ago. Wish he could have lived to be 100.

It's sad when Charlie Rose is smarter than Carl Sagan.

What the hell are you talking about CaptainPlanet? Please take your fake ultra-right wing cosplay elsewhere, it's just not funny and doesn't fool anyone.

Its always nice to see Carl, I think for many of us who read his books, its not too much of a stretch to say that he changed our lives. There's no going back to the cowering fear and confusing darkness of an unenlightened, superstition imbued life after learning how to think skeptically from him. He was simultaneously incandescently brilliant and deeply poetic, an extreme rarity. The planet is impoverished greatly for his loss. That said, its a shame this interview is essentially totally wasted on Charlie Rose. Nearly all his questions are frustratingly (even embarrasingly) childish and trite. It's painfully obvious he doesn't get it even by the end of the interview, "faith, Carl, faith". Whatever Charlie.

Charlie Rose is kidding himself, Carl Sagan was one of the wisest men ever.

Calm down son, anger isn't wisdom. Sagan has no life, no emotion. He's like a robot. At least Rose is funny.

Anger is, however, a useful response to a statement that was obviously intended to invoke such a reaction. You say that Carl Sagan was less intelligent on topics of global conservation, evolution, astronomy than his interviewer? Please explain yourself. Oh, now you change your slant to say he has no emotion, since you cannot obviously support the prior comment. Sagan did nothing but build, in his viewers, a emotional response to wonders and dangers of science and foster a love for the natural world.

Now... I ask why you would want to speak so derisively against such a man? How many guesses do I get?

Don't feed the trolls, BoneyD. Didn't you see the sign?

You didn't use anger. Why not, you should have. And I don't see how Sagan *yawn* inspires emotion, when as another said in the other video, he sounds like Agent Smith. LOL

Hey now! Don't misconstrue my words...:)

Even Stephen Hawking speaking through a monotonic machine inspires many a chelloveck including myself...I don't see how someone's voice has any bearing on what they're actually saying with it.
