Nick,

Your father was the inspiration for everything that I've done in my life. That handful of television shows, and the books that followed, have led to become both an astronomer and a teacher.

Today is, in fact, a sad day...but he would, I think, want us all to look forward, rather than than backward. So I amgoing to celebrate him by continuing to write lesson plans today, and go to the observatory tonight (if it ever stops snowing here...)

By the way: I'm also a huge fan of your own work.

Hi, Nick.

Just to say that Carl is also remembered here in Portugal, as you had the opportunity of checking out. Personally, he was a very big influence steering me towards Science (and to develop an interest to cross Science with History).

Best,
Rogério

Mi admiración hacia él hizo que me acercara a la ciencia, y a pesar de que no elegí ese camino, pues ahora soy director de cine, le debo en gran medida mi pensamiento crítico y humanista. Gracias!

Your father inspired my whole life since I saw him in Cosmos. The core of my beliefs and who I am was successfully formed thanks to the powerful concepts he introduced me to and allowed me to see the universe and life under a different light.
What can I say? Thank you seems a thousand times not enough.
Can we dare dream of a future world where individuals hold half the passion for science and knowledge he had? We've produced dedicated scientists, but no one comes close to his passion... I'll forever miss him.
