A Glorious Dawn (Feat. Stephen Hawking)
Yeah, auto-tune’s become all the joke lately, with enterprising folks applying T-Painery to everything from cats meowing to Mr. T. But the above video is no joke. It’s pretty darn bad-ass. And it’s significant when you consider that we’re just a few weeks away from taking a fun look at Cosmos.
I do hope you’ll all join us after Stargate for a look at a show that inspired the imaginations of many prominent figures in both the science and science-fiction world. It’s worth your time!

Welcome
GWC is a community of friendly people who enjoy and participate in geekdom as a whole. We are young and old, female and male, writers and readers, teachers and students, philosophers and skeptics, Browncoats and Trekkies, outside continents and beyond countries -- and we have one thing in common: passionate, shameless enthusiasm.
We’re interested in TV shows, movies, comics, novels, gaming, science, and music. We’re interested in each other. We like to chat about just about any topic. We’ll listen and give informed feedback, and at the end of the day we think of GWC as a clubhouse for a (very large) group of friends.

I’m really glad to be seeing this vid wind its way across the internets, first scienceblogs, now scifi ones like GWC. Sagan is the man and I look forward to the Cosmos show soon.
wow. head ‘sploded from the cool.
that was beautiful.
If you go to youtube and watch this video. if you click on the ‘more info’ it has all the “lyrics” I thought it was cool.

Twenty-six years since Cosmos. Wow. And still, all it takes is a moment to look into Sagan’s eyes and listen to his enthusiasm, and you’re hooked.
Google Carl Sagan. Read. Learn. Does he have a statue anywhere? Because he really should.
A fitting tribute to a man who would blow your mind with questions and ideas, and make you -crave- more answers that are out there, even twenty-six years later.
Excellent pick, Chuck.
This video is somehow haunting and beautiful and inspiring all at the same time – wow.
huh. Just posted this same thing on the Cosmos episode post! Oops. Good to know you’d seen it
I just signed up for John Boswell’s emailing list. Listening to the interview with him on podcast #191 just makes watching and listening to this all the more enjoyable. Very cool that GWC sought him out to speak with!
