8:09Now PlayingAstronomer Carl Sagan chats to Terry Wogan about Ronald Reagan's proposed Strategic Defense Initiative - commonly nicknamed the 'Star Wars' project - which he is highly critical of. He believes that not only would SDI be ineffective, but that the huge financial outlay required for it would be better spent wiping out the debt of developing nations and further exploring space.
Clip taken from Wogan, originally broadcast on BBC One, Friday 25 October, 1985.
