BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF US
Unveiled by his son Nick in a December ribbon cutting ceremony (video above), Carl Sagan now has an official site in Second Life, appropriately shaped like an observatory, with a viewing screen to watch clips of his timeless PBS show "Cosmos", and assorted memorabilia, both enlightening and whimsical-- like a dispenser which disgorges copies of Sagan's trademark turtleneck.
Direct portal to the Sagan memorial here. (Notwithstanding the title's word play, the Sagan site is a creation of The Illusion Factory, a Hollywood effects house which outsources its metaverse development to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam-- as documented here.)
We own the url www.billionsofus.com but not www.billionsandbillionsofus.com. ;-)
