A Glorious Dawn (Feat. Stephen Hawking)
By ChuckYeah, auto-tune’s become all the joke lately, with enterprising folks applying T-Painery to everything from cats meowing to Mr. T. But the above video is no joke. It’s pretty darn bad-ass. And it’s significant when you consider that we’re just a few weeks away from taking a fun look at Cosmos.
I do hope you’ll all join us after Stargate for a look at a show that inspired the imaginations of many prominent figures in both the science and science-fiction world. It’s worth your time!

I’m really glad to be seeing this vid wind its way across the internets, first scienceblogs, now scifi ones like GWC. Sagan is the man and I look forward to the Cosmos show soon.

If you go to youtube and watch this video. if you click on the ‘more info’ it has all the “lyrics” I thought it was cool.

Twenty-six years since Cosmos. Wow. And still, all it takes is a moment to look into Sagan’s eyes and listen to his enthusiasm, and you’re hooked.
Google Carl Sagan. Read. Learn. Does he have a statue anywhere? Because he really should.

A fitting tribute to a man who would blow your mind with questions and ideas, and make you -crave- more answers that are out there, even twenty-six years later.
Excellent pick, Chuck.

This video is somehow haunting and beautiful and inspiring all at the same time - wow.

I just signed up for John Boswell’s emailing list. Listening to the interview with him on podcast #191 just makes watching and listening to this all the more enjoyable. Very cool that GWC sought him out to speak with!
