Neil deGrasse Tyson would be the closest in today’s age that I’m aware of (I don’t track astrophysicists…sadly lol). Tyson however always seems like he has a much bigger ego so he’s definitely a bit of a distant 2 behind Sagan.
Neil is kinda cunty tbh and very opportunistic…he’s also not a “real scientist”, but a “science communicator”. And I don’t necessarily think a lot of this hypothetical views are grounded in realistic expectations.
Forrest Valkai has a very different style, and mostly about evolutionary biology instead of space, but is pretty cool. Nobody else has successfully gotten me excited about mitochondria.
We all do. 😔
Is there anyone in a similar vein today?

I thought NDT was Catholic or something though
Edit: I’m wrong, never mind.
