Pros

This book for people who have it is like a treasure! Personally my favorite chapter is the last who speaks for earth. I also like to read science fiction, so i am hoping this book will tie into those books.

Sagan writes that it is like we can colonize the solar system. One civilization he writes, classifies by its biology and industry, and provides an image of its home planet is one who calls itself we who survived.

Competitiveness


Many additional discoveries have been made as technology has advanced, but sagan presents so much more than what we know about outer space.
