Carl Sagan: Wanderers

submitted by Fletch

1 decade 3 years 9 months ago

Y/T: This video is part 3 of my continuing tribute to the late Carl Sagan.

Part 1: A Universe Not Made For Us http://videosift.com/video/Carl-Sagan-A-Universe-Not-Made-For-Us
Part 2: Consider Again That Pale Blue Dot http://videosift.com/video/Carl-Sagan-Consider-Again-That-Pale-Blue-Dot

Excerpts were taken from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space. More specifically, from the chapter titled Wanderers. I edited together the audio from the audio-book, and added the video from:

- Carl Sagan's Cosmos
- BBC's Wonders of the Solar System with Brian Cox
- BBC's Walking with Cavemen
- Discovery's Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking
- Discovery's Super Structures
- History's Failure is not an Option
- Schindler's List (film)
- Select pictures from Boston.com's The Big Picture

The music is derived from three songs on the Lost soundtrack: Hollywood and Vines, Locke'd Out Again, and Oceanic 815.

the only issue with sagan and recordings like this is the abundance of mouth juices, like having sum-one dribble on your ear as they talk to you.
