Dr. Carl Sagan and Dr. Michio Kaku are great.

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

Dr. Carl Sagan and Dr. Michio Kaku are great.
Their teachings, and peoples' enjoyment of games like 'Distant Worlds', can help to continue to inspire the expansion of Human understanding of the Universe and Multiverse.

Dr. Carl Sagan is and was great.

I still love to watch his 'Cosmos' shows that have been updated with new images, animation, and graphics. I sometimes get relaxed and fall unintentionally asleep listening to his voice and the 'Cosmos' piano music. Of course, when I watch it, it's often at night.

I never missed a Cosmos episode when it was on back in the day and my dad bought me the DVD set.
Hehe you might like this video. The Matrix interrogation scene with Sagan as the voice over.

Wade1000, the "cosmos piano music" as you so eloquently put it, is infact from the album "Heaven and Hell" by Vangelis.
Huh?
