I agree. I remember the TC series Cosmos well. It was before the more recent round of discoveries concerning the cosmos and astrophysics, but he brought the subject to life like no one else I know could have.AshtonBlack wrote:I never get sick of watching that.

P.S. Ashton - your avatar is from a comic I recognise it I am sure, but you have to admit it looks a lot like the incorrigible Leslie Phillips!Rum wrote:I agree. I remember the TC series Cosmos well.

I like Carl Sagan stuff, but damn his accent makes me want to punch something. I can't see how someone would want to autotune that crap.

Re: Carl Sagan rather beautiful autotune - again
Today my wife made an apple crumble, and she said she made it from scratch. So I quoted the late great Carl Sagan!
She just told me to stop going on about my internet shit, and no one was interested..
