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
I sit surrounded by cartons of mail from people all over the planet who mourn Carl's loss. Many of them credit him with their awakenings. Some of them say that Carl's example has inspired them to work for science and reason against the forces of superstition and fundamentalism. These thoughts comfort me and lift me up out of my heartache. They allow me to feel, without resorting to the supernatural, that Carl lives.

Hemos preparado una civilización global en la que los elementos más cruciales — el transporte, las comunicaciones y todas las demás industrias; la agricultura, la medicina, la educación, el ocio, la protección del medio ambiente, e incluso la institución democrática clave de las elecciones — dependen profundamente de la ciencia y la tecnología. También hemos dispuesto las cosas de modo que nadie entienda la ciencia y la tecnología. Eso es una garantía de desastre. Podríamos seguir así una temporada pero, antes o después, esta mezcla combustible de ignorancia y poder nos explotará en la cara.
