Carl Sagan

Carl Sagan, easily one of the greatest men who ever lived, was the inventor of the totally made-up number "billions and billions", and is famous for making really basic scientific concepts easier for stoners to understand. Despite being totally damn awesome, Sagan's legacy has been tainted because of his association with atheism, and because many Conservative fucktards remember him as being Reagan's mortal nemesis, apparently thinking Sagan's theory of "nuclear winter" is the same thing as "global warming".

As if you needed anymore proof God isn't real: this man had to die, and yet Mike the Situation is alive and well. How the fuck is that fair?

In addition to his litany of ceaselessly badass accomplishments, Sagan is best remembered for maybe being the only person who made labeled a geek a badge of honour, in addition to making science not suck, and for proving that you don't need to actually contribute anything to science if you want to be renowned as a genius by pot-smokers everywhere.
