Sorry, not true. Sagan was misquoted and that's just a plain fact.
The only time he actually said "billions and billions" was after the
misquote became a trademark (not what Sagan wanted, but what the hell) and
he would say it at conferences or on autographs and book signings for a
laugh. That's the truth.
