Thirty-five hours. Five donors. This is the fastest I have ever seen a project funded. I am incredibly thankful to all of you, and will remember this with every amazing class discussion I get this year. You have taken a step towards elevating science back to its place of honor in America.<\/em><\/p><p>The books you give me will inspire wonder in dozens if not hundreds of kids in the years to come. You&rsquo;ve replaced the static 60&rsquo;s style drawing of the Solar System in their textbooks with a dynamic, changing, and exploding universe. The far away pictures of galaxies are now personified as giant crazy monsters. You have helped make this class FUN.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>That&rsquo;s fantastic.
