I just recently developed a crush on Carl Sagan myself, and I googled “crush on Carl Sagan” to see if anyone else “gets it” too, haha. Glad to see I’m not alone You nailed it with this blog. I’m lucky I have found my own “Carl Sagan” as well in my husband – he was the one who introduced me to Cosmos.

This is probably my most favorite post of any blog anywhere of all time. You are literally the only person I have ever encountered who also has a crush on Carl Sagan, and for the exact same reasons you cited. And how much do I love that you wrote a love letter to Bear on his birthday in which you called him “your own Carl Sagan”? So unbearably romantic, I can hardly stand it.

(Did I just out myself as a huge nerd with this? I think I did!)

P.S. Happy belated birthday to Bear!

That’s pretty much like the current crush I have on Brian Cox (the scientist, not the old actor!). I LOVE Brian Cox.
