What kind of low-minded losers would set up a thread to vote on celebrities based solely on doability? This is about much more than that kind of shallow, vacuous nonsense.
I would totally do him, though.

Me too. Scientists are really hot.
Where are the bikini pictures?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
He'd probably have a bikini with a turtleneck.
0.5 Pocket Protectors and two quarks down.
Uggh, boring. Typical generic mussy haired genius type. There must be billions and billions of stars I'd want to make Contact with before that.
SETI called. They said a little less Cosmos, a little more cosmetics, please. Those bags under his eyes just act as a counterpoint for the two dead raccoons he calls eyebrows.
Plus, when was he first published? 23? Too old for my tastes. I wouldn't hit it with the asteroid named after him.

^ You clearly have no taste in nerds. The mussy hair alone is worth one PP.
He kinda looks like Harlan Ellison in his younger days.
This is putting me off.

Just imagine him in a speedo. If that doesn't do it for ya ...
That's no pale blue dot. That's his ass.
And fine it is. Though, for those whose tastes are like Locutus', it's the Demon Haunted World.
Gonna get all up close and personal with his Meat Planet

The counter-factuals are a big minus for me, too. But he was a courageous and inspirational human being. I must have been in just the right age bracket to have been heavily influenced by Cosmos. The book Contact is on my list of books to read, and although I understand there are some differences between the film and book, the film, while flawed in its heavy-handedness, is nevertheless good enough to recommend. One of my favorite Sagan quotes:
"The Martians will be us." — Carl Sagan (Cosmos, "Blues for a Red Planet")
We need more people like Sagan. Maybe if we had more like him, maybe, just maybe, people in this country wouldn't be so jaw-droppingly unaware of the basic facts about how their own world works.
Exhibit A:
1 in 4 Americans Apparently Unaware the Earth Orbits the Sun
I suppose he did make a lot of money..
He looks better now. Shinier. I think a beard would fix him up nicely, you know cover up his face.

These pocket protectors are great!
I love Sagan. Plus, I always vote up.
His voice is dreamy. He could read me the dictionary any day or night.
Carl Sagan and Ken Burns: two of the greatest things to ever happen to American public television.

Eh. He's too cookie-cutter. Too much like all the other scientists out there. Not enough to distinguish him from the Tysons, the Hawkings, or the Nyes. I want pizzazz, I want someone unique!
I only vote 2 pocket protectors because the only time I was aware of him when I was a kid was my Dad pointing out that he calls humans 'yoomans'. I also thought he was the narrator to The Martian Chronicles, which is probably not true but clouded my childlike opinion of him nonetheless.
I vote 4.999... pocket protectors, the pens I protected in them, and a photograph of the closest inhabited alien planet: .
Isn't he a bit too young though? What's up with only people born after 1900 getting the all the attention?
Might I suggest while going older, the current nerd of the week should be the one to suggest the next nerd of the week?
