He's the hero America deserves, but not the one it needs right now. We need Carl Sagan.

I disagree. Tyson is wonderful. We can't look to the dead to rise, we are Atheists, not Theists.

We carry on. We admire Sagan and others like him because they have passed on, we should honour them. However, we must forge forward like science itself.

To denigrate Tyson is unfair and unjust.

Tyson is WONDERFUL, and we need him and others like him. I believe he will do an excellent job in Cosmos 2.

Science will only improve, and so will our shows and orators that deal with Science.

Tyson is awesome, he only seems to lack power because he is still alive and not idolized in death.

You're fucking lucky to have had Carl Sagan then, and you're fucking lucky to have Neil deGrasse Tyson now.

Why because he is black? Racist!

Carl Sagan I owe a debt of gratitude for sparking my love and wonder of the Universe. He holds a special place in my mind. I will never forget him or his contributions of attempting to make science accessible to the masses. But he is gone. I hate that fact, but there it is.

Neil deGrasse Tyson will not be Carl Sagan because he's Neil deGrasse Tyson. He has his own mode, his own way of explaining, his own excitement about the stuff he is coveying. He is a hero in that he is taking up the reins of what Carl started and moving it into the 21st Century.

I have a deep respect for both of these men and what they are trying to acheive. There is no comparing them. The both are awesome individuals!

I think NDT and Brian Cox are two of the robots that make up the Voltron which is Carl Sagan.
