I really think it's a tribute to Carl. To me, it's a kind of instant scientific literacy.

A lot of people have this ego need that makes them want to believe that Earth is the center of the universe and humans are the most important species, the supreme expression of creation.

I was very much involved in updating the imagery, so it will seem new in terms of the latest effects, but we haven't changed the text we wrote 25 years ago,

The Science Channel has done a beautiful job of enhancing the visuals by giving new visual expression to our scripts, and leaving the greatness of Carl untouched,

He had a passion for democracy, for people to make informed decisions so they can think critically, ... He was rare blend of science and poetry and social consciousness.

What Carl used to say is, 'When you're in love, you want to tell the world,' ... He wanted to communicate that the nature of the universe is so thrilling and inspiring and spiritually uplifting.
