BTW, a Lightsail test rig was launched into space today. It's not a full test (that's for next year) but it's getting various data they'll use for whatever sciencey purposes they have.

Very tempted to put some money in, although it's been a financially rough month. Then again, I basically would want my name in space and that's only 5 dollars so...
Is it me or does that Bill Nye fella look awfully familiar?

Or maybe I've been playing too much Kerbal Space Program.
BTW, the project funded. It's now going on to stretch goals.

I pledged to LightSail, which is a light sail (duh) experiment for using photonic pressure as spacecraft propulsion.
It's looking for $200,000 and is currently at $86,000 with 44 days remaining.
