Third, but this time Karen chose it and she hasn't read it before, so it's (mostly) new to her.

I hope you read it more passionate than you did in the voice exchange thread.
And also mimic explosions and stuff.

Not really. My voice is what it is, though kind of yeah: when you're reading out loud to someone there's a little more emphasis and life required than when you're just basically reading into a microphone.

From 1:49

Billions and Billions - Carl Sagan

20 years later every warning we ignored is biting us in the ass and only getting worse

Books he wrote decades ago still blow our current celebrity scientists away.

Dude knew what the **** was up

Pretty much the only pop scientist worth anyone's time.

I love that scene so much. Immediately knew what you're getting at, when I saw the thumbnail.

Besides being incredibly articulate there’s a couple other reasons for that:

1) He worked on the Voyagers and the proof is in the pudding.
2) He stayed in his lane. These guys today are pulling **** out of their ass that’s as much mythology as science.

Excellent episode. Love it when he stands by the exit door and the wind blows his hair as he shouts "GO! GO! GO!"

Sagan was the ****. Dude got me interested in astronomy and space through the series "Cosmos", and best of all, he didn't talk down to his audience. Sadly missed.
