We are being watched. At first it seemed impossible - a radio signal that came not from Earth but from far beyond the nearest stars. But then the signal was translated, and what had been impossible became terrifying... For the signal contains the information to build a Machine that can travel to the stars. A Machine that can take a human to meet those that sent the message. They are eager to meet us, they have been watching and waiting for a long time.
And now they will judge.

Biographie de Carl Sagan

Carl Sagan's Cosmos, first published in 1980, is one of the best-selling science books ever published in the English language. The accompanying Peabody and Emmy Award-winning television series was seen in 60 countries. His other books include The Dragons of Eden, awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1978, Broca's Brain, and (with Ann Druyan) the bestseller Comet. Dr Sagan was deeply involved in spacecraft exploration of the planets and in the radio search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
His numerous awards include the NASA Medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement and for Distinguished Public Service, the John F. Kennedy Astronautics Award, the Honda Prize, and the Joseph Priestley Award 'for distinguished contributions to the welfare of Mankind'. He also received the annual Awards for Public Service of the Federation of American Scientists and of Physicians for Social Responsibility.
Carl Sagan died in December 1996.
