The following is a conversation with Anne Druyen, writer, producer, director, and one

of the most important and impactful communicators of science in our time.

She co-wrote the 1980 science documentary series Cosmos hosted by Carl Sagan, whom she

married in 1981, and her love for whom, with the help of NASA, was recorded as brainwaves

on a golden record, along with other things our civilization has to offer, and launched

into space on the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft that are now 42 years later still active,

reaching out farther into deep space than any human-made object ever has.

This was a profound and beautiful decision, and made as a creative director of NASA's

Voyager into Stellar Message Project.

In 2014, she went on to create the second season of Cosmos, called Cosmos a Spacetime Odyssey,

and in 2020, the new third season called Cosmos possible worlds, which is being released

this upcoming Monday March 9th.

It is hosted once again by the fun and brilliant Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Carl Sagan, Annie Druyen, and Cosmos have inspired millions of scientists and curious minds

across several generations by revealing the magic, the power, the beauty of science.

I am one such curious mind, and if you listen to this podcast, you may know that Elon Musk

is as well.

He graciously agreed to read Carl Sagan's words about the pale blue dot in my second conversation

with him.

If you listened, there was an interesting and inspiring twist at the end.
