Why is this guy so "important"? All he did was "popularize" science. It's like saying black science man is a hero.
I remember back in the day, people on /b/ used to praise this guy as if he was Christ himself.
What's the deal?

Sagan is cool, I like him. But you'd have to be deluded to think he is in anyway important. He has contributed nothing to any filed nor done any major work.
He is a celebrity, and like any other celebrity, he is irrelevant.
He could have never been born and science would be in the same spot that it is now.
Have you watched the Cosmos TV series? The way he expresses himself is almost poetic. He presents science in a way that's touching and powerful. Not to mention working with NASA and shit.
Black science man only exists as a pop-science personality in the first place because of his minor association with Sagan.

Did he really smoke weed every day.
It's true, hes an idol to many but his contribution to the field was bringing in more people.
He was a great man but he was not a great scientist.
