INTERVIEW - Ann Druyan on talks about the accelerated development of technologies when Carl Sagan and her set forth with the Voyager mission in 1977. Gives a brief history of a time when they had great expectations of the future, not long after the Apollo landing. Long period of moving the horizon forward. Talks about the miniaturization of the technology in such a short rate and time, and the brilliance of miniaturizing the spacecraft and sending it out (as small as a gram) Ann talks about what excites her about her time.
