Sagan my man I interviewed him maybe a
hundred times yeah Carl's billion so you
can say you've interviewed him maybe a
billion times

you yeah he uh I had my first encounter
with him was was memorable for me
probably not for him but for me I had
applied to college
and I've told this story before it's in
fact we we I retell it in Cosmos I'd
applied to college and I'd known I was
interested in the universe I had been
accepted at Cornell and the unknown to
me the admissions office forwarded my
application to him for his comment and
reaction he then sent me a personal
letter hand signed saying I hear you're
considering Cornell I'll be happy to
give you a tour of the campus if you
want to come up and visit to help you
decide he was already famous
