1. So much for politics, now for the important question

"Carl, do you think time-travel is possible?"

WOOWWWW....

[F4lconF16]

2. Wow did that come out of nowhere.

Boom, no warning, right to the hard questions

[Cryptoad]

3. Hell he ahs to be one,,,,

He believes the Earth is older than 1600 years that make him
commie... and we know you cant be a commie without being a Socialist
Simpy Logic! geeez

4. It's a fucking shame that so few like Carl Sagan have a platform.

Instead this nation listens to the ignorant and the cunning liars.

This nation needs criticism.

Instead of repeating, "It's the greatest country in the world!" We should be saying, "Look at these many ways we can improve! Let's get out there and do it!"

The USA could be the greatest country in the world, easily.

Why can't the super greedy relent, just a little? If they could moderate their greed I guess they wouldn't qualify as super greedy. Their identity would be endangered.

5. Historical note: When he refers to "star wars" he doesn't mean the movies...

...he was talking about the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) that was promoted by Reagan.

7. Good reminder - just in case there's any young 'uns watching this.

Sometimes we forget that everyone doesn't share the same memories.

6. Not sure what the clown music and wired closeup was about....

But Sagan was one of our best and brightest. Him and Mr Rogers both.

8. I think the music was an early reference to today's clown car;

And a Benny Hill moment vis-a-vis the interviewer's follow up question.
