My friend Dave Ruck is trying to generate funds so he can film a documentary about space exploration.
Taken from his Kickstarter page:

Quote:
"I Want To Be An Astronaut" will chronicle the history of the Space Race: where we were, where we are, and where we could be. Told through the lives of astronauts, space fans, teachers, and kids young & old, we take a wild ride to explore America’s capacity to imagine, invent, and achieve.

While so much of today’s media seems focused on what we are doing wrong, our film examines what we can do right and project a positive message for humanity, a call to action, and a vision of what is possible for America if we simply allow ourselves to dream.


If you can donate anything, even five bucks, I know he'd appreciate it! Thanks, guys!

That isn't true. You guys have just had a tiff - you'll totally get back together with space soon, and all of this will be forgotten.

Is there any possibility of return on my investment?

I don't do charity.

I think that's WHY he's making the documentary. I think he really hopes that the childhood dream of becoming an astronaut isn't something that will die with this generation.
And he is an awesome filmmaker. He has worked in Nepal, and has done work with shipwrecks on the Great Lakes, and cinematography for an independent horror film as well. :ohyes:

depending on how much you donate, you do get cool freebies - your name in the credits, a t shirt, so on.

I'll pass. Good luck to him, but I have more pressing things to spend my moneys on.
