I got the chance to meet Dr. Sagan and speak with him. It was a sudden, unexpected opportunity and one I am humbled to have had. Of course, I was a complete dork as a child (and remain an unapologetic one today), and memorized and watched "COSMOS" a dozen times. He autographed my hardcover edition of the book. I have always felt very small (as I should) when thinking of my place in the world. I'm glad a few of you took the time to truly ponder what that link I posted means...for all our differences, beliefs, attitudes, religions...just everything....we are just a Pale Blue Dot. Go tell your family you love them and then go outside and look up.
