If he was alive today, Sagan would deliver to us some inspirational quote.. so lets make due with what we have from his past.
For Sagan!

One minute in he says the earth and all the planets are connected magnetically to the sun and that's why we stay in orbit around the sun, so yeah not a good source at all.
EDIT: Lol he doesn't even know the name of the mission. He says he's watching the mission closely and he thinks "Oreon" has something to do that asteroid, but we all watched the mission and we know it had nothing to do with it. Will he post a video saying he was wrong?
Of course not, our brains are hard-wired to find patterns even where they don't exist. He looks at solar weather information, earthquake data, meteor showers from "exploded" comets (which is wrong), and thinks he sees patterns but that's because he doesn't actually keep rigorous track of his own predictions and observations.
Without any rigour cognitive biases rule, one being the less knowledgeable someone is the less able they are to recognize their own ignorance and instead have false confidence. http://theness.com/neurologicablog/i...unning-kruger/
EDIT2: Oh yeah I forgot I was going to say no one better tell him there's like 10,000 near earth objects discovered so far.

I would hope that the capsule that takes man to mars will be bigger then a phone booth on the inside. I can't think of anything more embarrassing then showing up on mars and having the martians laugh as the humans get out of the capsule like a bunch of clowns out of a clown car, and instead of saying "This is a small step for man and a giant leap for mankind" they say "Arrrgh my bank, my suit smells like farts"
Personally I think that we should take our time going to Mars, take some time and a bit of extra money and show up in something like this, well rested, well fed and lookin forward to conquering mars. Plus think of the tourist industry.
Seriously, though, are they really going to send people on a year long round trip in that tiny capsule?
