    When I first saw this on another blog, I was afraid that it could only be some kind of mockery. And that even if it weren’t, it could not possibly be by someone who fully appreciates Carl Sagan and “Cosmos”, and so would only be silly. But I was very much wrong, and glad to be so. It’s really quite nice, and it made me miss Carl Sagan in a way that I haven’t in many years.
