He touched you early in life and he captured my attention when I was a little older. I religiously watched his PBS Cosmos series n taped every episode.. nothing would get considered during his time slot! I have a couple of his books but his lessons on tv were easily understood as he had a way of explaining the universe so we could all understand and want to know more. Every once in a while I go to Utube n watch his Pale Blue Dot w/ Pink Floyd’s the Turning Away n I’m once again contemplating the billions n billions of star stuff. I just admired him immensely.
