Tyson is a featherweight compared to Sagan. His command of analogy is
far inferior--that's a big difference, considering that well-constructed
analogies are a great way to convey science to the general public.

Tyson has better graphics though. :-) The saddest part of the
comparison is that there was a guy popularizing astronomy and science 25
years ago, and there's a guy doing it now and Bill Nye for kids in
between.
