What does this picture [pale blue dot] make you think about?
This one in particular seems unhelpful, since the picture is only meaningful if the viewer knows what it’s a photo of. Sagan’s description of it does a lot to imbue so much emotion into it.
Thank you for your input on this. The idea is to show people something like the following image [see below] and give a few words of background on it before asking for their thoughts. I agree that this part wouldn’t be too helpful for getting people’s takes on the future, but my thinking is that it might be nice to see some people’s reactions to such an image. Any more thoughts on the entire action sequence?
