    If they include Sagan as Tyson’s predecessor, then why not Nye’s predecessor, Mr. Wizard?

      Sagan as Tyson’s predecessor

      I assume they include Sagan as Sagan.

      He deserves to be in the image as much as anyone else in it, and definitely several orders of magnitude more than Tyson.

        I’d agree with you, but much of the younger generation didn’t have the pleasure of growing up with him. Many youngsters only know him as the “pale blue dot” guy.

          Those youngsters need Cosmos. And I mean Sagan’s version.

          James Burke’s Connections would be nice, too.

            No joke. I’ll never forget when I saw the episode on how Eratosthenes correctly estimated the circumference of the earth with sticks and shadows. It completely blew my mind!
