1. Cosmos, the 1980s television series featuring Carl Sagan, inspired me as a child.  It inspired in me a love of learning and knowing for the sake of it.

    I was fortunate enough to go to a school where my Chemistry master found the series impressive enough to make watching it ‘homework’  not that it was ever a chore.

    I owe my love of learning and appreciation of science and inquiry in no small part to these influences.

    I have since bought the book of the series and have been given the DVD Box set; rare finds both particularly the DVDs.

    Thank you Steve Foskett, Carl Sagan and the people responsible for Cosmos.
