The Sagan Appreciation Society is petitioning for the US Postal Service to issue a postage stamp honoring astronomer and science writer Carl Sagan.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy
And don't miss...
(Includes my essay "The Ancients Are Watching.")

They should use the picture you've posted. That's a great photo of him. Happy, relaxed, and handsome.
They should use a scene from one of his 'Cosmos' Series episodes.
Yeah, agreed. That graphic is from an illustrator working for the skeptibunkeroids, as shown by the "lighting a candle in the darkness" illustration, which derives from one of his last books, the "demon-haunted world" or similar title.
Heh! Sagan was a known pothead (see K. Davidson's profile), so maybe the "candle" in the dark he should be illuminating with should be a fat joint. OK, not likely to happen under the USPO, I guess...

I agree. I hate that creepy "Science as a candle in the dark" treatment. It makes him look like a gnomish zealot.
