You Are Here – a beautiful speech by Carl Sagan (Video)

Meh.

Nice speech. Too bad the last 2 minutes were from the movie Contact and NOT images from Voyager 1…

Makes me want to watch Contact again.

that was cool. and we fight among ourselves, building walls to separate our races, spending more on missiles, instead of cures for diseases, food, etc.. neglecting our home

This is called The Pale Blue Dot and it is incredible. I cannot believe the number of stupid comments on here. Some of you are such irrelevant and unnecessary wastes. Go make a video of your cats screwing, Tom, because if that's what makes YOU think and appreciate, then good luck to you. And FYI, Tom, Mom and Dad's basement is even more insignificant than our beautiful Pale Blue Dot.

yes if only more people thought like this.

Thank you very much for that. This is the reason I am a chiver! KCCO everyone

LOL. Mind not blown

That was Awesome!!! Carl Sagan has alway been a hero to me. He has a way of explaining the Vast to the simplest of minds.

This is from his book. Carl Sagan was one of the most brilliant and open minded people ever know. Show the respect he deserves.

It's very fitting that the last part was the opening sequence to the movie Contact, which was based on the novel by the same name, which was written by Carl Sagan.

find it funny that Reagen was shown as he said, "crooked politicians" guess I understand where you guys stand now.

makes me feel claustrophobic

That was great…and at the same time, kind of sad.

was it just me or did I miss Neptune and Pluto in the long ass last shot?

Anybody else notice that 2 Mel Gibson movies made the cut?
