    Fabulous. I'm sure Dr. Sagan would be enchanted to see it, too.

    I really enjoyed this. It's the best autotune I've ever heard. I even made it into a ringtone. [audiko.net] I have to say, with all ignorance, that I don't know who Carl Sagan is; however, now that I've seen this video, I will be sure to look him up.

    How I miss the feeling in my childhood that our future would be filled with space travel and marvelous technological achievements. That anything was possible.

    Even though the future I was promised is nowhere to be seen there's always hope that mankind will cease wasting time, lives and resources on self destructive endeavors. Our time has lost it's sense of excitement, of purpose and of possibility.

    I long for the day the world will wake up and unite in one common goal, conquer the stars.

    Carl, you're dearly missed.

    This is awesome. I've only seen a couple examples of auto-tune-the-news, and those guys always insert themselves into the video. I don't know if this came from them, or not, but it's good. Love the Hawking guest shout-out, too!

    What really scares me about this is that before now I'd never heard of Carl Sagan. I'm not THAT young(23) and I've studied physics fairly extensively and read books like A Brief History of the Universe, but somehow I missed this man's existence?

    On a side note: He says that we've "found the water warm and inviting", I was under the impression we found it cold, desolate, and capable of destruction our feeble human minds can't possibly understand.

    @MarcusMaximus: How is that possible?! Carl Sagan is one of those very special science minds who helped put science into terms that everyone could understand. Cosmos was the most successful PBS program of all-time (it's on Netflix on Demand - watch it).

    He's won a Pulitzer, a Peabody, a Hugo, and an Emmy, in addition to a number of other honors and awards. He stands among Goddard, Hawking, Einstein, Crick, and Oppenheimer, as one of the greatest scientific minds of the 20th Century.

    @MarcusMaximus: Yeah I have no idea how you've never heard of Carl Sagan. You need to rectify that immediately. He has the skill of boiling down extremely complex ideas into terms that anyone can understand, and does so with a much more elegant and almost poetic flair than Hawkings. Definitely check his stuff out.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Yes, but can he sing and sort-of dance in clothes that are way too tight while wearing too much makeup? Can he spout off inane controversial opinions that spur people to rage while lacking any significant reason or logic? Does he bicker and argue incessantly with his colleagues, creating needles and unending drama? does he give birth to and raise an insane number of children?

    No? Well....then there will be many people who have not heard of him.

    @MarcusMaximus:
    I'm assuming you are referring to "A Brief History of Time" by Hawking? Sagan wrote the foreword to that book.
    So you've read him, even if you didn't know it was him at the time.

    I'm sorry. People who use auto-tune should be treated like the murderers they are. I do not mean to say ALL auto0tune is bad. Sometimes it's like justifiable homicide, like the Slap Rap.
