That loss is felt far beyond his immediate circle. Carl Sagan
was interesting even when he was wrong, and even those who
disagreed with him were compelled to recognize his formidable
intelligence and intellectual curiosity. He provided a much-needed
voice for science, and a living rebuke to the many scientists who
regard public understanding of their work as a secondary or
impossible mission. Future popularizers of science will be
hard-pressed to match his eloquence and
range.
