I'm a huge fan of his work, and was greatly influenced by Cosmos, watching it as a child. I don't really care if he had a big ego or wasn't the best at math. What he did better than anyone else was to convey the sense of wonder. He maintained curiosity and skepticism in equal measure. That is hard to do, but understanding and communicating the sense of wonder to the masses is even harder - and I'm very grateful that he did.
