The Pale Blue Dot: The picture of Earth from 4 billion miles away. As told by Carl Sagan with some great movie scenes.

At first blush I thought this was a dupe, but then I watched it and went and watched the others. It got me thinking . . . what if everyone were to do their own pbd video? I wonder what scenes you would use in yours.

beautiful. And I really miss Sagan.
I feel like he had such great way of explaining things.
And it is overwhelming how insignificant this planet really is, even though most people care to think we're something special.

Amazing. I'm gonna tell everyone I know to watch this.

I've showed this to almost all of my friends and they've fallen in love with the book.

Probably on (if not THE) of the best videos on the sift.

*promote the wisdom of Carl
