Thank you, Mr Sagan

I don't know how many of you remember Dr. Carl Sagan, the man of "Cosmos" fame, the author of "Contact", the man who took me by the hand (figuratively) at an early age and said, "see, this is science...isn't it wondrous?". To a large degree, the Cosmos series drove me into my life today.

He died 10 years ago Wednesday, and his widow has written up a wonderful entry on the man behind the fame.
