YogiIt's always a wonderful story when you find out a Great Man is also a good man.
antI hope he passes down to younger generation!
mxxconso did Sagan respond to him because DeGrasse was something special even back them or that just happened that The Carl Sagan responded to The Neil DeGrasse?
yellowcsays...I recommend people watch the full video that eric3579 linked. The whole thing is interesting and there's a little joke that's cut off the end of this video that would of been good to keep in the clip, this part is around 6min mark in the full interview.

Full interview
I would strongly encourage everyone to view the full interview. It is a very interesting interview.
Phoozsays...CARL SAGAN FAN CLUB! Cool vid!

so did Sagan respond to him because DeGrasse was something special even back them or that just happened that The Carl Sagan responded to The Neil DeGrasse?
What a very valid question. I'd love to think that even though DeGrasse might have appeared to be on his way to scientific success Sagan would still have contacted him. Those kinds of experiences shape a life and could very well represent a turning point in DeGrasse's life; one that might have turned out differently had the meeting not taken place. Shame we don't hear more of that.
honkeytonk73Good man. He never ceases to impress me.
I only wish I had such a mentor in my early days, otherwise I'd have been in the field. Living in a near vacuum as far as far as family and my school was concerned, and zero guidance along the way. Eventually I did follow a path along computer science (which is nice), though I occasionally do wish I chose that path. Though I do make up for it by having my own private observatory. So I do get to dabble. Who knows, there is potential to leap into that field to a degree with the background I have. Though, I'll certainly be the mentor to my child that I did not have when I was young.
Hive13Amazing story!
rebuilder"Neil DeGrasse Tyson on the day he met Satan".

FlowersInHisHairI just felt a little surge of love for both Carl Sagan and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
