Description: On November 9th of this year, the anniversary of his birth, friends and colleagues gathered to celebrate Dr. Carl Sagan. Among them was famed CalTech physicist Kip Thorne. In this excerpt from the live conversation at the Crawford Family Forum, Thorne recalls a request for advice from Sagan that led to an entire new area of theoretical research on how wormholes in space could be used for travel to the stars.
