That was beautiful. Its such a disappointment to me that so many people spend so much of their time focused on what some guy in the desert may or may not have done 2000 years ago, or what he would potentially want us to do now. We should be focused on what needs to be done going forward. Namely, we need to get the f off this rock as quickly as we can.

Whoa, auto-tuned Stephen Hawking? Awesome! That's like Jesus on a velociraptor. Only real.

I know what I hate, and I don't hate this.

Possibly the best sift OF ALL TIME!

FUCK YEAH! This is amazing. I'm going to extract the audio and wake up to it as an alarm every morning from now on.

This really is the awesomest thing ever.

I'll have whatever he's been smoking.

Absolutely wonderful. I am downloading and contributing... http://www.colorpulsemusic.com/youtube.html

stuff like this is the only acceptable use of auto tune. it adds an artistic layer which, in this particular case, added to the existing artistic layer of sagan's beautiful talent for writing.

"I'm not very good at singing songs"

No, but you sure could write some beautiful poetry:

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch

You must first invent the universe

Space is filled with a network of wormholes

You might emerge somewhere else in space

Some when-else in time

The sky calls to us

If we do not destroy ourselves

We will one day venture to the stars

A still more glorious dawn awaits

Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise

A morning filled with 400 billion suns

The rising of the milky way

The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths

Of exquisite interrelationships

Of the awesome machinery of nature

I believe our future depends powerfully

On how well we understand this cosmos

In which we float like a mote of dust

In the morning sky

But the brain does much more than just recollect

It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes

it generates abstractions

The simplest thought like the concept of the number one

Has an elaborate logical underpinning

The brain has it's own language

For testing the structure and consistency of the world

[Hawking]

For thousands of years

People have wondered about the universe

Did it stretch out forever

Or was there a limit

From the big bang to black holes

From dark matter to a possible big crunch

Our image of the universe today

Is full of strange sounding ideas

[Sagan]

How lucky we are to live in this time

The first moment in human history

When we are in fact visiting other worlds

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean

Recently we've waded a little way out

And the water seems inviting

I must *promote Carl's awesomeness.
