Back in the 80s me and my terminally ill son wrote a letter to Carl Sagan asking how long humans will live. We expected a simple letter but unbelievably enough he recorded a casette tape and sent it to us in the mail, I've been listening to it for a long time but I was afraid the quality would get worse over time so I decided to digitize it.
So please enjoy this never before heard audio of Mr. Sagan.

if this is legit thanks OP
This.
Pretty cool that he did that.
Sorry for your son.
the music that kicks in kind of makes it hard to hear him but pretty cool 2bh
Thanks OP
requesting this be archived
This is really cool.
thanks op
For once OP wasn't a faggot. Good decision deciding to upload this, now it can be archived forever.
that was really awesome
saved
It would be nice if this were uploaded to Archive.org & Wikimedia Commons for preservation.
noice
Nothing stopping you from doing it yourself.
Good stuff, thanks
Curious, would it be possible to improve the audio from old 1980 recording to more crystal clean as if it was recorded using modern technology?
I'm going to transcode this to Opus to slim down the file size to make it smaller and more web-friendly. What's a good bitrate? I was thinking 32 kbps VBR.
*slim down the file size to make it more web-friendly
Yeah not clicking that. Anyone have a mirror?
It's just an audio recording, what do you think it is?
it's an mp3 file hoster you dip
Yeah, over here
Okay, got it down from 13.9 MB to 3.58 MB whilst still sounding pristine. This truly feels like a miracle audio format.
Now I need a place to upload this. OP's website doesn't accept Opus files. :(
>fb/yinoanalyticaljapanese/
What the fuck OP?
I'm not going to launch up a VM just for one random link. Just mirror it somewhere for me
you're truly retarded
then eat a dick
I suppose you want us to polish your crocs for you afterwards. Do it yourself you fucking neckbeard
do you also wear a thinfoil hat?
It's not a screamer you dumbass
Delete this.
no
wow... thanks for sharing
Okay, here is the recording in Opus 32 kbps VBR.

Thanks OP. This is just beautiful. I'm sorry about your son. At least such a beautiful person was an inspiration behind this great piece of art. He's in a better place now.
i've removed most of the noise
jii.moe
Nice copypasta
Kind of lame desu mate
When this gets archived on wikimedia and archive.org, should the original or a cleaned up version be uploaded?
(((Carl Sagan))) was a degenerate drug addict.
gitgud.io
a fork of pomf.se ?
original, if not both
This is amazing mate, thanks for sharing.
Sorry for your son.
Here's your (you), now fuck off.
thank you.
too muffled/strong accent, it's hard to make out some of the words
original
Are you all playing along or have you fags never listened to a real cassette tape? The noise in the background is clearly record noise, probably some effect from Audacity. Tape hiss doesn't sound anything like that.
RIP
where the fuck did the audio come from
When I heard 2013, I was very suspicious. Probably someone recorded themselves on a cassette recorder (or something equally shitty), got it on a computer and added a music track over it, which if you listen carefully extends after the shitty recording ends.
pretty bad fake.
Fake as fuck
The accent is too fucking forced
did you add piano to it you fucking swine?
FUCK YOU OP YOU LYING KIKE!
why is there music
Thank you, OP, that was really good
>carl sagan thread
Saged and hidden.
This.
Also he was one of the propulsors of the current euphoric atmosphere in this times, with all the fake shit he said about hypatia and crap.
Toasting in legendary bread. I was here.
so is it fake or not
ffs could the universe be any more depressing?
This may be the greatest post ever on Sup Forums period.
Sup Forums doesn't deserve this.
Should have posted it on /sci/.
How did he travel back in time from 1997 to the 1980s?

>not the copyright holder willing to license under CC
Death renders everything meaningless, therefore eternal life is the meaning of life.
Fuck you. I mean that with my whole heart. I hope you die alone with a heart full of regret.
That's pretty fucking cool OP.
>"archiving" in a lossy format
Do it in FLAC
It's obviously fake though. Jeanne Calment died in 1997.
>Sagan talking about Jeanne Calment's death which happened in 1997.
>Sagan died in 1996.
>Record is aparently from the 80's.
Fake and gay.
>2017
>using gay as an insult
Fake and cisnormal
Quite awesome and thanks for sharing, OP, anything from Sagan is worth archiving for posterity.
False and non-binary
Include me in the screencap op
I agree with user. Fuck all you faggots and fuck op
This thread smells fishy
Too many bot like replies
>2017
>a simple thanks for providing potentially unheard audio clips from a generally revered person
>bot like
what has the world come to? what could possibly be gained from saying "thanks op" using a bot?
t. brainlet who can't see the lines
nevermind I guess OP is a faggot.
...
>what are proxies and/or chinese slave datamines
this is a typical old days of Sup Forums virus bait thread
Be more original, I wanna get fooled by a virus thread, it's been such a long time since I've gotten one
t. buttmad op mad that he's been found out
Copyright holder is Carl Sagan himself, who is dead.
Fake or not, how did you do this?
...
It must be a very sophisticated virus inside an mp3 file being able to exploit multiple music players and oses.
Carl Sagan's pic should be the sticky on the board of life.
So how long will humans live?
Must be a Stuxnet type.
>Being suspicious for no reason maks me look cool
I love Sagan so much and I'm not gay.
I'm I gay?
I answered 'potato.'
Fuck I'm retarded.
cabbage
apple
nigger
Whether it's fake or real, it's comfy
Why is everyone on Sup Forums so autistic?
My brother in law works for the library of Congress, I can tell you they preserve everything in wav
this
So what is the song that plays?
