I am afraid he would be appalled. Our country has only money for war and war machine. No money for NASA. Polititians are under control of the highest bidder. Some places history is being rewritten in textbook and some places some books are being banned.

Have we improved since Carl Sagan did this. In my opinion we are rushing backwards.
