Reply to comment by tolkienfan2759 in Carl Sagan's vision of today's world by Jeff_Souza

I'm also a scientist (a geologist) and Sagan definitely was one of my inspirations for going down this road and I'm sure the same is true for countless other scientists.

Noticing your username there, Tolkien was another one of my inspirations! A love of both science and tales of adventure in the mountains tends to lead one towards the geosciences!

You know, I've never been tempted to read anything of Sagan's before, but now I think I will... who knows, maybe he'll inspire me too... or maybe I'll come back in three months with a repellently cynical takedown! lol sorry guys
