About Carl Sagan
Carl Edward Sagan (9 November 1934 – 20 December 1996) was an American astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and science communicator. His best known scientific contribution is research on extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. Sagan assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. Sagan argued the hypothesis, accepted since, that the high surface temperatures of Venus can be attributed to, and calculated using, the greenhouse effect. He testified to the US Congress in 1985 that the greenhouse effect will change the earth's climate system.

Additional quotes by Carl Sagan
We will leap at the opportunity to support, to believe, to feel good. Most reporters, editors, and producers — swept up with the rest of us — will shy away from real skeptical scrutiny. He won’t be selling you prayers or crystals or tears. Perhaps he’ll be selling you a war, or a scapegoat, or a much more all-encompassing bundle of beliefs than Carlos’s.

Nos cursos de laboratório na escola secundária, havia uma resposta que devíamos obter. Ficávamos marcados se não a conseguíamos. Não havia nenhum encorajamento para seguir nossos interesses, intuições ou erros conceituais. Nas páginas finais dos livros didáticos, havia material visivelmente interessante. O ano escolar acabava sempre antes de chegarmos até aquele ponto.
