Something for our generation.

Clunky as it seems today, I have `Cosmos` on DVD, I don't think they can replace Professor Sagan...

I agree with you, Tengu. But I also wouldn't want anybody to replace Carl Sagan. He was just right for his time on Earth, just as Einstein was, and Stephen Hawking is today.

Frown for some reason I keep getting a "This content is currently unavailable" message.... I haven't seen Cosmos before and I would like to have seen if it was something I could get interested in.

KT, did you try copying and pasting the URL? That's what I did, and I had no trouble.

will give it a go, thanks. Smile

ETA Tried it again, and just got the same thing, it's not the link I have trouble with, it's running the vid itself.

KT is it possible the link is not working because the "content" is not available in your country?

I get that message a lot when american's or people from Europe try posting links to video's.

I have not tried this link, but that is possibly what is happening.

CD, believe it or not, when I first read your post, I read your sentence as "people from Earth", not "people from Europe"...and for a second I wondered from who else sends you links...

I probably need to sleep more... Jester1

Daniella & CD - LOL. Glad to know I'm not the only one - both to read things incorrectly and to intercept interstellar transmissions from Riga that demand their place in fanfic.
