This is worth billions and billions of awesomes.

And I know it's only a trick of auto tune. But still...

Very cool. [Smile]

An excellent use of auto tune. Entertaining and educational.

Thanks! It spoke to me.

Carl Sagan sounds like Kermit the Frog when he sings.

I thought the same thing!

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

I love this so much I downloaded it and have listened to it about fifty times in the last day or so.

Posted by scifibum (Member # 7625) on :

I like this a lot.

I love the line

"I you wish to make and apple pie from scratch you must first invent the Universe."

Posted by Lisa (Member # 8384) on :

Bump.

The other one he has is also pretty good. I wish he'd make more, as they're both a lot of fun, and ridiculously catchy.

It's also weird, but interesting to recall that not too long ago (and to a certain extent still) it was something like a coin-flip as to whether or not humanity would obliterate itself on any given day:
"If we do not destroy ourselves we will, one day, venture to the stars..."

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

I think destruction (although perhaps not as spectacularly) is still on the cards, particularly as it will take quite a few years before we're at the "star venturing" stage.

Oooh, good bump. I missed this the first time.

Posted by Strider (Member # 1807) on :

I love the new Symphony of Science one, particularly because I love Neil deGrasse Tyson and Feynman's bongo beat!
