Carolyn Porco: Fly me to the moons of Saturn.

Richard Dawkins: An atheist's call to arms and The universe is queerer than we can suppose

Tierney Thys: Swim with giant sunfish in the open ocean

I also enjoyed Jennifer Lin: Magical improv from 14-year-old pianist (esp. the "improvisation" section), Julia Sweeney: "Letting Go of God", Rives: "If I controlled the Internet", and an extremely interesting Jonathan Harris: The Web's secret stories for those of us who love gorgeous interfaces/ideas/presentations.

Take a look at TED - it's a good way to spend some of your time.
