Geez

I wanna 1/5 for the people... my god do they lack social skills. Anne is like a hot robot and the guy...... it`s like he`s been sitting alone in an observatorium for 20 years.

But I`ll 5/5 because the cinematography is awesome and the concept is, of course, mind-blowing.

Social skills? They are talking about the universe and its galaxies, stars, planets and solar systems, evolution, life and history and you`re concerned for lack of social skills? Get your priorities in order, mister!
BTW, there are plenty of worse cases within science when it comes to social skills than Carl Sagan!

Anywho, it pains me to put this work of art under "Random Videos". Visit the spiked forums for a petition to create a educational/documentary video category:

I guess modern programming is what we`re much more used to: snappy summaries and less narration... unfortunately this does kinda drag on a fair bit, but if you have the patience to watch it then you`ll find it does have some good stuff in there.

^Exactly. This isn`t regular front page material. This is stuff you want to watch when you have an evening to spare, or something like that. That`s one of the reasons why an Educational video category would be a great improvement for spikedhumor.

BORING!

Personally, I`d like to figure out the mysteries we have yet to solve right here on our own planet.

Why do I like boobs?
Why do dogs circle three times before lying down?
Why do people find Angelina Jolie attrative even though she clearly has several STD`s?
And god damn it, how any licks DOES it take to get to the center of the tootsie pop. How do we not know this by now?

Perhaps we should find better ways to explore our own ocean.

It would behoove the human race to solve some of our problems down here, before we look much more to the heavens.

Like I`ve said before, these things aren`t either/or propositions. We can study the universe *and* our planet (as part of that universe), we can study the cosmos and the microcosmic. Knowing about the "star stuff" (as Sagan calls it) that makes up the universe helps us understand the very same star stuff that eventually created our planet, our very bones.

If you want to problematise an area of overspending and waste, belly-ache about the gushing deluge of money, time, resources, oh and LIVES!!! being wasted in places like Iraq. If all that has been wasted there had been spent discovering rather than destroying, the answers to your boobies-dogs-Angelina Jolie-Tootsie Pops questions (as well as some of the more elemental questions about our planet and the universe) could have been answered by now.
