Wasn't Carl Sagan in some way responsible for that load of hogwash junk-science movie "Contact"?

Sagan should not be held responsible for the movie.

[what's up]

My understanding is that the movie was based on a book written by Sagan. Junk-science is his forte.

I think it's excellent how Crichton pans Sagan's approach in this article. Sagan has been setup as some sort of guru by millions who don't understand real science.
