As both a Sagan and Porsche fan, I don't know how I've missed this connection. It's a comforting thought, that a man who understood more about the universe and intricacy of life than most of us, still enjoyed the lesser things in life despite science being such a humbling and perhaps even cynicism-inducing experience.

The Carl Sagan Porsche was orange and not red.
I shot that picture in 1977 at the University of Arizona.
The image reproduced a slight shift in colors from the photograph after I scanned it for my web page.
