Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan Written by Leigh Martinuzzi Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space was written by the late Carl Sagan, an American guy with many titles to his name, Astronomer, Cosmologist, Astrophysicist, Astrobiologist and Science publisher. Most known for popularising science and taking many on a journey into space and time. A futurist and explorer excited by the opportunities that exist for humankind beyond the pale blue dot that is Earth. Written in 1994 and published later in 1996 this has become one of Sagan’s most popular pieces of work. While reading it I became fascinated by the story of human exploration and what is possible for the future of humankind. Carl makes an incredible, research-backed case about the role space will play in the future of mankind.
