	Carl Sagan - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Sagan is regarded by most as an atheist or agnostic, observing statements such as: "The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard, who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous.
		Sagan married three times; the famous biologist, Lynn Margulis (mother of Dorion Sagan and Jeremy Sagan) in 1957, artist Linda Salzman (mother of Nick Sagan) in 1968, and author Ann Druyan (mother of Sasha and Sam) in 1981, to whom he remained married until his death.
		Sagan was a significant figure, and his supporters credit his importance to his popularization of the natural sciences, opposing both restraints on science and reactionary applications of science, defending democratic traditions, resisting nationalism, defending humanism, and arguing against geocentric and anthropocentric views.

	Various Reviews, Page 7 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		It didn't help matters that Sagan was going through a bitter divorce from Linda Salzman at the time, and that his father passed away during the filming of the series.
		Some felt Sagan relied too heavily on Ann Druyan's advice (the insertion of Hypatia in Episode 13 was largely due to her influence.) Some special effects were not delivered as promised, and shots of Sagan grinning euphorically in his spaceship were substituted instead, to the eternal delight of his detractors.
		Time and time again, Sagan comes through with a clever analogy, an un- forgettable biography (can anyone ever forget Milton Humason and his humble assistant, or Kepler miserably seated at Tycho Brahe's ribald dinner table, or Huygens' evening of music and observation?) or a simple reflection on the pure joy of knowledge and discovery.

		Carl Sagan notes how the figures were supposed to be racially indeterminate, and how they wanted to show off our ten fingers, ten toes, and our opposable thumbs.
		Sagan talks about some ideas that were discussed that didn’t make it onto the plaque: radioactive time markers (rejected because they would interfere with the Pioneer radiation detectors), representations of biological systems such as our brain, or a stellar map (rejected because of problems of representing stellar motion).
