Cool, I just watched this last night on hulu.
I recommend to anyone who hasn't watched this series dozens of times over to watch them.

Re: Carl Sagan: Astrology
There's another good reason that Astrology can't be true. People frequently say be wary of theories that haven't changed in hundreds of years, but it's even more true when the same constellations that appeared on July 10th, 1400 AD, do NOT appear in the same locations on July 10th, 2009. What was a Cancer then can't be called a Cancer now.

I couldn't help thinking as I watched this that Economists are the modern Astrologers, wearing a nice suit and being just as wrong.

I think he's excellent. Such a loss when he died...yet Limbaugh and Glen Beck are still using up my oxygen!

If you like this series, I HIGHLY recommend reading Pale Blue Dot by Sagan. It's even available as a free audio book, read by Sagan himself. It's incredible.

Another great Sagan Book: The Demon Haunted World. It should be required reading for anyone who wants to vote.
