In Memoriam
This book is dedicated to one of the great pioneers in the search for intelligent
life elsewhere—my early mentor and advisor—who inspired millions of us
earthlings to continue the search for truth wherever it might lead. His inspiration
will live on.
“We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the
depth of our answers.”
Carl Sagan
(1934-1996)
