AND OF COURSE to Carl Sagan. I made an entire page of credits and forgot to cite The Pale Blue Dot. Total brain fart on my part. I miss the man dearly.

I got frustrated with NASA and made this video. NASA is the most fascinating, adventurous, epic institution ever devised by human beings, and their media sucks. Seriously. None of their brilliant scientists appear to know how to connect with the social media crowd, which is now more important than ever. In fact, NASA is an institution whose funding directly depends on how the public views them.
In NASA's defense, they have embraced social media. I guess my point is that they don't fully understand how to best use it. In all of their brilliance, NASA seems to have forgotten to share their hopes and dreams in a way the public can relate to, leaving one of humanity's grandest projects with terrible PR and massive funding cuts.
Edit: Another video I put together:

Another edit: If you like media that celebrates the beauty and wonder of science, go check it out and listen to their podcast. Winner of best educational podcast of the year AND best science podcast of the year!

Sagan speaks, and I cannot but dream with him of a future that sees us, as one species, venture beyond our own expectations, and touch the stars. When the future seems so untenable I hear his voice and it gives me hope, and a will, to see this future with my own eyes. To reach, as he new we were capable, the heavens, and realize our home. To that world, my life.
Would you dream with him as well? Would you dream, and then work to make our world a reflection, an incarnation, of that dream?
Came back for my daily like
