Completely Unrelated - ARKYD: A Space Telescope for Everyone

Planetary Resources launched a Kickstarter campaign to crowd-fund for the first space telescope controlled by the public.

Here's where we need YOUR help: The proceeds from this campaign will go to several different areas: 1) To actually launch the satellite into space. 2) To support the spacecraft over its lifetime — including manpower to facilitate the photos, "selfies", monitoring the spacecraft and training the staff at the chosen science center that will take over control. 3) To create an easy-to-use Control Interface that will allow ANYONE to access and control the satellite. 4) To fund the creation of an incredible, interactive educational experience that can be used by schools anywhere, to enable students to experience space in a way that's never been possible.

And did I mention that you will be able to send a picture into orbit, have it displayed on a screen and get back a picture from the maintenance camera of the craft? Awesome!
