Hi Reddit Community, Annie Druyan here. I was the Creative Director of NASA’s Voyager Interstellar Message, co-writer of Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, co-creator of the motion picture Contact. The deepest honor of my life was sharing it with Carl Sagan and building a family with him. Since my husband's death in 1996, I have written, produced and directed Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey for which I won the Emmy and Peabody awards. Tonight at 8/7 central, my third season, Cosmos: Possible Worlds will have its broadcast premiere on Fox. I am the author of its companion book. The great leaps in human experience always begin with a question. That’s one of the reasons I am excited to get yours. Let’s go.
You can read my most recent essay for National Geographic titled "How science will help us find our way to the future" here:
Proof:
A dusty corner on the internet where you can chew the fat about Australia and Australians.
Discussion regarding the potential collapse of global civilization, defined as a significant decrease in human population and/or political/economic/social complexity over a considerable area, for an extended time. We seek to deepen our understanding of collapse while providing mutual support, not to document every detail of our demise.
A place to discuss Sam Harris and to have difficult conversations with civility.
A place to discuss the documentary series Cosmos: Possible Worlds, Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, and Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

I don't know if it's appropriate to post in this sub. But the 'official' Carl Sagan sub is still dark in protest of Reddit's closing off of the API.
The official Carl Sagan YouTube channel uploaded this the other day. But digitization and official release of the recording itself comes from NARA, College Park Maryland Archives location. It is perhaps fitting that this was rediscovered, digitized and released to the public in an age of social unrest. In an age where, yet again, the world's biggest superpowers are ever still in consideration of thermonuclear war. I've gone and updated the Wikipedia entry for the Eternal Light Peace Memorial with proper citations where applicable. It is almost 27 years since since Sagan passed away. And we are still having the same conversations. The same arguments and debates.
