Sagan is alright
But he's no Patrick Moore for these reasons.
1. Sir P is alive and well. Definitely alive.
2. He's better at space as far as I know.
3. He's the last living human to wear a monocle. And about fifty years after his nearest challenger at that.

5. Sagan looked forward to meeting aliens...
Unlike Moore:
"We are being swamped by parasites. Call me a racist but I would send them all back to where they came from."
If you have this much trouble with different people on your own planet, best not go looking for aliens...

Especially if the aliens happen to be gay
or women.

Cheer up
He's about a hundred years old with a wildly outdated worldview that most of his generation shared. And he's opened far more minds than he's closed. Anyway, what with his xylophoning and monocle-flourishing he's quite clearly a massive gayer.
