    Quite possibly one of the most uplifting songs I have ever heard.

    Is there anything else like this out there? I already donated in hopes of John producing more of this goodness, but I cant quite fulfill my fix with just two songs. #autotunecarlsagan

    Carl Sagan somehow always manages to put a big silly grin across my face. But it's also sad to think how much we're missing without him or Arthur Clarke. I miss you guys #autotunecarlsagan

    In reply to Carl Sagan Auto-Tuned Part II (Featuring Feynman, Tyson and Nye)
    I'm sorry, but this is pretty genius. Mostly because I don't have the talent to create it, and more so because I have a deep respect for these men, sans the incessant indulgence of wacky weed. It's more than a fantastic way to honor the memory of not just an influential scientist, and Carl Sagan is more than the few episodes of The Cosmos you've taped on VHS, but a brilliant tribute to a mind that has dedicated itself to enriching every other mind.

    Think about what your kids will be learning in school. I almost feel deprived that I was confined to the limited scientific reasoning of the 20th or even 19th century physical understanding; in other words, had I not in my own curiosity indulged myself in The Elegant Universe early in high school, I'd feel like I was cheated, because nobody said "and that's why the Earth goes around the Sun, BUT... there's more..."

    This has been argued before, but it's worth noting that there is a precious lack of challenge in the particulars of scientific introduction that persons like Carl Sagan has exemplified, and that even the youngest persons should be exposed to the principles of the "superposition" of Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Schrodenger's Cat is a mind blowing example. More, if a tree fell, and nobody was around to hear it, did it fall? Would the stars shine if nobody were there to observe them?

    That was a lot. And Carl Sagan isn't a monolith of deity in my own life, but had everyone more than a circle of friends to react to the questions of possibility, as did Sagan with his access to media, at a young age, I think everyone would be healthier for it. Lastly, Gizmodo is pretty fucking sweet. The end. #autotunecarlsagan

    Or, alternately, don't get stoned, and stare at the stars. I've never had to alter my brain chemistry to be completely blown away by the galaxy at night. I'm pretty sure anything you can do stoned, you can do better not stoned.

    Also, COPD/emphysema, anyone?
