I first read Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot 10 years ago. It’s an incredible release that hasn’t aged at all and was released when the internet was just a fledgling. Having been sent this more than a few times I picked up the book again and browsed it’s glossy pages – it’s a fantastic read that we highly recommend. This great little homage is both humbling and appropriate, it shows how Sagan is such a huge influence on the scientific rhetoric all over the internet today and why his ability to grasp big ideas will live forever.

was the background music from lost ?
Excerpts from Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space. More specifically, from the chapter titled A Universe Not Made For Us. I edited together the audio from the audio-book, and added the video from Stephen Hawking’s Into the Universe and Brian Cox’s Wonders of the Solar System. The music is Jack’s Theme from the Lost soundtrack.
I feel… clean again. What kind of person believes this world – this giant universe – is here for man’s purpose?
is it weird that that brought a tear to my eye?
