There’s only about seven hours to go, and we’re still two thousand dollars shy of the goal. That’s about the same amount of money that NASA spends on SLS in three seconds. Between now and when the window closes, they will have wasted about one and a half million bucks.
I’d say, at this point, given the current trickle, that either we’re not going to get there, or it will come in close to the end, as people are perhaps holding back to see if it will make it without them.
[Update a couple hours before it closes]
OK, doing pretty well. We just need a little over $600 now before 5:30 Pacific. SLS spends that much every second. Thanks for all the new donors, and the upgrades.

We did it! Over $12,400, and still an hour and a half to go, for those who still want to support the stretch goal of a video, and get the reward. Thanks to everyone who made it happen. Suck it, Shelby.
Congratulations, Rand!
It’s over $12k now.
Congratulations. I look forward to critiquing the product with keen interest.
Thank you, Mark.
Congratulations. Now you have to work. 🙂
Exactly. As a stakeholder for the first time I actually have capital invested in a personally important project! Not that I’ll let that go to my head or anything….
So Rand stop reading my drivel and get to work… bwahahahaha…

Rand, I may be skeptical, but your rant got you my $10. Congrats.
Thanks. You just got in under the wire. 😉
Congratulations!
Congratulations Rand! You got a sawbuck from this vegetarian, and I am glad that some of your higher-rolling, presumably paleolithic diet eating carnivorous friends put you over the top.
Woohoo! I was getting worried for a moment there…
Congrats Rand, looking forward to the finished product.
Glad you’re able to do this important public service for peanuts.
Thank you, Sam. Glad you understand. My choice is doing it for peanuts, or doing something I don’t want to do for higher-grade nuts.
Hey, who’re you callin’ a low-grade nut? 😉
Congratulations, Rand! What a big finish! Can’t wait to see the product.
