Arkyd: A crowdsourced satellite

http://techland.time.com/2013/05/30/arkyd-is-a-crowdfunded-orbital-space-telescope-you-can-control/

I saw this today and like the 3d printed food article I just couldn't ignore it. I have been stalking the tech section of google news lately and this is just what happens. But there is a major space craft company that has created a kick starter to put a satellite up in space that gives access to students and just people in general. I just think this is super cool and felt like it was awesome enough that I had to share it. You can contribute to the kickstarter here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1458134548/arkyd-a-space-telescope-for-everyone-0 I'm actually really obsessed with kickstarter it is just such a cool idea that has been used to fund so many really incredible projects.

EDIT: there are also Arkyd infographics I mean what's not to love
