Review:
A collection of essays, articles and thoughts of the late great Carl Sagan.
Very good read, with keen insights considering it was written in the 1970s. It was the dawn of space travel and he looked ahead with a mix of hope and skepticism.
Lots of good info, some seemed so dated now that we know what came to pass.
Some, okay lots of the science went over my head, and he vacillates over religion. So 3/5 but still time well spent.
