Sagan came up with the idea of including audio disks that would be attached to both probes, carrying messages from Earth off to the stars. They had much greater success on their next collaboration: the Golden Records aboard NASA's space probes Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.īoth Voyagers are currently headed out of the solar system, flying into interstellar space. The two formed an instant bond, and soon collaborated on a science TV show for kids - a project that never reached fruition, unfortunately. Druyan and Sagan met at a dinner party way back in 1974, just a year after Sagan had become a true public figure with his first book, The Cosmic Connection. Often identified (sometimes with a touch of dismissiveness) as "Carl Sagan's widow," Druyan is much more than that. At a moment when we are all consumed with news of a global pandemic, Cosmos ' grand perspective on life and understanding seems more relevant than ever. But to get deeper inside the show, I also spoke with Ann Druyan, who co-wrote the original series from 1980 and who was the main creative force behind the two newer iterations. In my previous post, I shared my interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson about the new season of the legendary Cosmos television series.
