Happy Birthday, Carl!

Carl Sagan was born today in 1934, in Brooklyn.
I'm sure I don't have to say anything about him, but if I did, besides Cosmos and The Demon-Haunted World and The Dragons of Eden, I'd mention his insistence on putting cameras on space probes. Imagine Cassini without cameras...
He was a national treasure, no, a global - no, a specific treasure and he's missed.

For sure. His voice would be so valuable right now. At least we have his books and TV series. I've only actually read Demon-Haunted World - which is a classic, as far as I'm concerned. Lots of extra future reading for me to do.
