Carl Sagan's last interview, part 3 of 3
Carl Sagan gave his last interview with Charlie rose on May 27th 1996. He discussed pseudo-science, religion, unfounded claims, his personal love affair with science and his struggle with myelodysplasia as well as other elements of his last book: The Demon-Haunted World.
I thought it was important that a high quality copy of this interview, with proper audio video sync, was made available on youtube.
The Demon-Haunted World changed my life in ways more profound than I thought possible. That book, and the name of Carl Sagan, should be known to every high school graduate.
"Better the hard truth, I say, than the comforting fantasy. And in the final tolling it often turns out that the facts are more comforting than the fantasy."

CORRECTION: It's come to my attention that Carl gave one other television interview before his death. It was aired on ABC's Nightline on December 4th 1996. A short clip from that interview can be seen below. Please ask ABC to make the entire interview available.

| @realshompa Lol, it would have been a clash. In case you aren't aware of this, Steve Jobs was a business-man, a staunch supporter of intellectual property which goes against not only the beliefs of Carl, but the foundation of human scientific progress itself. If you imagine them having a friendly laughing discussion, you're kidding yourself, Carl wasn't the type to have that sort of conversation with a Steve Jobs, a polar opposite in regards to his opinions about human interaction. |

He will always live on in me. I'm sure another star was lit in our beautiful night sky when you past on. Safe winds, good sir... |
