Well Sam is more ready than me.
And I don't know who elected Carl Sagan king.
Carl Sagan was one of the most celebrated, well-liked, respected scientists of the 20th century. His original science and history series, Cosmos, drastically and creatively described and explained various Historical, scientific mysteries, stories of ancient Greek, Roman philosophers, poets, writers from Plato. Socrates, Aristotle, Pythagorus, Ptolemy of Alexandria, Hypatia of late-antiquity Alexandria, Thomas Aquinas, various mythologies and origins behind them. He made learning and understanding science and scientific history fun and interesting.
The 1997 film Contact was dedicated to his memory and as a NASA scientist proposed theories like the "Doomsday Dilemma" so, when he narrates a frightening, terrifying, "what-if" post-apocalytpic nuclear war fallout world and how human extinction could be a real, existential possibility under such a God awful scenario, I would tend to believe his calculations might occur.
