Planetary Resources, Bringing the stars to you.

[kodemunkey]

Hello there. I'm one of a group of 400 people chosen to raise awareness of Planetary Resources goals, which in the long term are to mine asteroids for materials to provide resources for the human exploration of space.

In the short term however, they are seeking $1,000,000 on Kickstarter in order to launch a space telescope that you can use to explore the universe, or donate your telescope time to MIT, or even your local school.
