Carl Sagan: “I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when … we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

Wow. Powerful stuff. I had to pause and let that sink in, substituting Britain for the US.

Sagan would be a hard act for anyone to follow. Tyson just sounds like an everyday mindless waffler. What a pity.
