<VV> Carl Sagan Day

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Fortunately, the greatness of a scientist is measured by a lot more than how many lives he's saved. Sagan advanced the exploration of the universe as much as Werner von Braun. And I met Jonas Salk in college at a seminar, and was in awe of being in the presence of such a humble fellow. Sagan is still a great man, with a great legacy. Heck, they named the landing station of one of the Mars rovers after him!

But, more importantly, he drove a 1964 Corvair Monza Spyder!

Dennis,
     More important than Albert Einstein (who, among other things, got FDR to 
start the Manhattan project so we didn't have to lose a million American lives 
invading Japan) , Dr. Alexander Fleming (penicillin), or Dr. Jonas Salk (polio 
vaccine), etc., etc.?????????  How many millions of lives did Carl Sagan 
save????
