We applaud Greg for his dedication to this mission, but also his drive to encourage young people to study science, math and astronomy by giving a first-hand description of the wonders of space.

 One of the inspirations for this show was Bill Nye the Science Guy. He talks a lot about inspiring young people to study math and science. . . . I wanted to influence people to think more about math as an everyday language that they can use.

 As a child I was captivated by the 1960s space program and technological innovations, and it inspired me to get an engineering degree. Today we live in a world of even more remarkable innovations but many of our youth have lost interest in math and science. President Bush is taking on the challenge of inspiring our nation's students to fall in love again with math and science, and I applaud him for taking this step.

 Greg called me in Vancouver recently at 1 a.m. and he was still at the office, answering e-mails. We talked of his vision of the program and the explosion of Canadians. That shows his dedication with two young children at home. You're around Greg, you become a better person.

 The motivation is either an interest in space, astronomy, science fiction or being at one with the universe. Some see it as a spiritual choice.

 When he came to me wanting to do something in astronomy, I got excited. Astronomy is my first love in science. But he wanted to buy a big telescope which we couldn't afford.

 More and more people are doing their giving with a few clicks of a mouse rather than writing and mailing checks because it's faster, easier and more cost effective for the charities they support. That's especially true in December, when people make most of their donations. This December, we're seeing the online giving trend on a remarkable scale with double last year's contributions, despite the fact that people already gave so much online for disaster relief this year. We applaud Yahoo! for helping to encourage this outpouring of online giving and ensuring more resources get to many charities that need our help more than ever.

 We tell them about Earth science, astronomy, plant science and marine science. But what we don't do is explain what the four basic sciences are and what the building blocks are. We go too broad too early. We don't go in depth enough.... You've got to understand the big picture of what science is and how all the sciences relate to one another. If you don't do that, you'll never get it and you'll never get a real interest in science.

 We are declining in science ... in the 5th and 6th grades. Young ladies are not entering math and science -- and when they do, they go to medicine.

 My personal mission is to make math doable by anyone everywhere. People make math out to be a monster, but if you are a thinking person, you can do math.
