10 Years and Missed.

I miss Carl Sagan. The nation and the world misses Carl Sagan.

I never met him, but I viewed "Contact" again last night. Even though I knew the movie's outcome, it was still a big WOW.

My only connection with Carl was that he and my father died of the same disease: MDS (Myelodysplastic syndrome), for which there is still no cure. My father didn't do the bone marrow transplant, as Carl did.

I certainly hope that the first permanent human settlement on the moon or Mars is named after Carl. He deserves no less.
