For your viewing pleasure, Carl Sagans "Cosmos". Link to entire series.

[nytemare]

IMHO, the best science series ever, and there have been many great ones.

Every episode is posted, with decent quality. The dvd is quite expensive, so this is a good alternative.

Carl will be forever missed.

Please try to keep kicked so many can enjoy.

1. How many stars are out there, Carl?

“billyuns and billyuns”

:P

[nytemare]

4. I read a book by him with that title.

The first line is, "For the record, I never said it." The Johnny Carson impersonation stuck!

:)

5. Battle of the PBS Network Stars

:P

[elshiva]

2. I love Carl Sagan.

:hug: :loveya:
Thank you.

[nytemare]

3. I bought the DVD set on Ebay a few years back.

I sometimes play it as I try to go to sleep to relax me. Nothing like a universe of wonder to drift off to sleep to!

:hi:

[elshiva]

6. He was a sweetie. Reminds me a lot of Mr. Rogers.

I miss Carl Sagan and Mr. Rogers. :(

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. This is PLATINUM!!

Thank you! :hug:

[nytemare]

9. You're quite welcome!

If one was to sit straight through, it would be 13 hours of prime viewing.

:)

8. Nice!

:D

[nytemare]

10. Holy cow, I forgot the apostrophe to make his name a possessive!

An apostrophe catastrophe!

:D

[Odin2005]

11. Thank you!

[nytemare]

17. Sure thing!

I've gotten such enjoyment out of my DVD's of this program, I need to share the wealth.

12. What a lovely Valentine's Day gift, nytemare. Thank you.

"This is what hydrogen atoms can do, given 15 billion years of evolution."

[nytemare]

16. "There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on every beach of the planet Earth."

Just that thought is staggeringly amazing.

[sarge43]

21. And "We are made of star stuff".

If that fact doesn't make your socks roll up and down, better check your blood pressure.

[nytemare]

22. I love that term.

Star Stuff. :)

[MicaelS]

13. Superb, but don't forget "Connections"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connections_(TV_series)

[sarge43]

14. And his "The Day the Universe Changed" n/t

[nytemare]

15. That's why I had to add the IMHO.

I still enjoy Nova, and "The Universe" on the History Channel is quite enjoyable. I TIVO these shows like crazy.

:)

[JVS]

25. Connections was the shizz!

[DarkTirade]

18. I had it downloaded, got up to about episode 5 or 6 I think.

... then that harddrive went kaputski.

[nytemare]

20. It was too much for the hard drive to handle.

:)

I like how the show documents the Voyager missions, with the giant computers and huge tapes the pictures are stored on. I wonder what Carl would think of today's computer imaging capabilities.

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. Thank you for that,

and thank you Mr. Sagan!

[Pale Blue Dot]

23. Well, that's right up my alley.

Obviously. :-)

[nytemare]

24. ROFL!

:rofl:

It obviously is. It would NOT be an extraordinary claim to say that is was up your alley.

[pokerfan]

26. Another great series that no one ever heard of...

The Mechanical Universe... And Beyond, is a 52-part telecourse filmed at the California Institute of Technology, funded by the Annenberg/CPBProject, and produced by Caltech and INTELECOM Intelligent Telecommunications (a non-profit consortium of California community colleges). The series introduces university level physics, covering topics from Copernicus to quantum mechanics.

[nytemare]

28. Thanks, I will bookmark that one.

:hi:

[JVS]

27. Do they have Eugene Weber's The Western Tradition. That was some fucking show!

[nytemare]

29. The main website I linked too has many science and documentary programs.

It may just be on there.

[nytemare]

30. Kick for the afternoon crowd.

[nytemare]

31. Kick for night shift.
