Carl Sagan was born in Brooklyn in November 9, 1934. Son of Russians immigrants, he grew up at the same time what his love by the science from what his fathers took him to the Worldcon (World Science Fiction Convention) of Queens in 1939, when Carl was a child. Turned in a scientist important after of to send the first satellite to Venus and demonstrate what his Venus's model was correct (he just was 27 years old), Carl was professor in some universities and includes he appeared in TV when the Viking probe landing at Mars. He designed no just the Viking and Viking II spacial probes (that landing at Mars in July 29, 1976 and September 3, 1976), too designed the famous Voyager and Voyager II spacial probes which was launched in August 20, 1977 and September 5, 1977 (being Voyager II launched in first place. The two spacial probes were sent to the outer space with a gold disc inside what contained information about Earth), but his greatest exit was the TV series most seen in the history:
Cosmos, all a legacy of pure science but accessible for everybody what was a big hit around the world. Altough more later he was jailed when he pronounced against the "Star Wars" (the Ronald Reagan's project to use satellites and missiles in a war in space), Carl continued being one of the best scientists, winning the Pulizter by his book 'Dragons of Eden'. Finally he died in December 20, 1996 of cancer, just after of the opening of this biographic documentary. He was 62. Astronomer, scientist, spacial voyager, writer, citizen of the universe and much more, Carl Sagan, no doubt, was a cosmic celebrity.
