  One night in his monologue Johnny mentioned Carl Sagan was getting a divorce.<br>Johnny said “it will probably cost Carl billions and billions of dollars!”

  This was before Cosmos premiered and Carl became a household name - you can tell by the muted applause when he comes out.

  Even in Sagan&apos;s analysis and critique of realism in sci-fi movies, he was ahead of his time here too! Today the film makers of serious sci-fi movies make dedicated efforts to utilize physicists and other scientists as consultants, for the result of getting the science as authentic and based on real principles/theories as possible in their movies.

  Dr Sagan got me started in Science in 1980 with his series Cosmos, an amazing terrific and very specific educator that knew how to explained the most difficult Scientific concepts in such a subtle way, your average layman could understand.<br>I still can’t get over his passing at 62 in December of 1996, he had so much more he wanted to do, very sad indeed and a loss to Scientific literacy. 😭

  It&apos;s a treasure that people like Dr Sagan could break down such ideas and have them be absorbed as easily as they do.

  Fucking Brilliant! Only Johnny could pull out this in formation from Carl Sagan by just asking questions. What a great interchange.
