If you're not sure how to finish that sentence...you missed the first-ever global satellite TV program seen in 26 countries simultaneously, back in 1967. (OK, I was little then, but still...you can relive it online here.) Certainly an interesting intersection of genius between Arthur C. Clarke and The Beatles.
Wonderful article by Dennis at NYT about Carl Sagan, the astronomer and world citizen, and a great book released called, "The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God" by Ann Druyan, his widow. It's a compilation of Dr. Sagan's lectures given in Glasgow in 1985. He had a groundbreaking series called Cosmos that certainly changed people's lives and the way we viewed the Universe.
Here's an interview with Dr. Sagan on PBS' Charlie Rose from January 1995. (Move video marker to 39:30 mark to skip first two guests...or click on the picture above.)
There's a moving tribute on Ann's blog about remembering Carl that is quite touching.
