| Category: Science It's ten years since the death of Carl Sagan and yesterday I listened to an old interview with him and a new one with his widow on PBS's Science Friday. It was all very adoring stuff. We remember him for Cosmos and for Contact and also for his reliance on dodgy computer climate models in his fight against Reagan's efforts to win the Cold War. He would have loved to have been able to contribute to the current climate nonsense. Colby Cosh of The National Post offers a not-so-adoring memory of the man (if you're only going to click through to one link in this post, make it this one). Also, from Canonical Lightbulb Jokes come this: Q: How many Carl Sagans does it take to screw in a light bulb? |
