Cosmos! Yes rewatched recently, lots of good, a few bits very dated now.
One the one hand Carl Sagan got to live through a wondrous period of cosmology & planetary exploration. Voyagers were truly a triumph.
On the other I am sad he did not live long enough to see the bonanza of new planets. I remember during Cosmos how fascinating it was to talk about the Drake equation and think about the possibility of other planets being out there, but it was still a big question mark of was it few or many. At least the first few extrasolar planets were found before he passed away. Now with Kepler we know there are LOTS of them.

Yes, it's a shame because we are living in the Golden Age of Physics and Astronomy and Carl Sagan just saw a bit of it and a bit of the rise of the Internet. He would have been proud of that. Still, luckily he was spared the Bush/Obama administrations and the horrors they brought.

Comedy for Atheists: Creationism
The Best Atheist Posters
Take some with a grain of salt. I don't think Franklin was an atheist. A secularist, yes, but not an atheist.
Dawkins is the one true god!
