Remembering Carl Sagan on the anniversary of his death

[Maxmars]

The year was 1996, on December 20th when we were told of the death of Carl Sagan, astrobiologist and astronomer of world renown.

He supported the 'search' for extraterrestrial intelligence.  He was a best-selling author, receiving the Pulitzer prize for "The Dragons of Eden."

I would rather appreciate his countless contributions, and regrettable abuse by establishment authorities trying to curtail his public works...

Many of you will know his story, and what he offered the world as knowledge... I will leave it to you all to bring up those things which speak to you about his life.
