Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Kickstarter successful and closed

The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.

Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)

Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!

UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Cut back to the Pale Man, now several hundred meters below the air skin. He's starting to fall a bit faster, but not yet alarmingly so. He's no longer firing the maneuvering unit. Put a small head-shot of Bert in the upper left corner to show he's the one talking in the caption.

Caption (Bert): I bet he just plans to float down to the surface and use the maneuvering unit as a retrorocket to cushion his landing.
Panel 2
Cut back to Bert, Ernie and Tobi at the patio table.

Bert: He has no idea what he's in for.

Ernie: Tobi, what's the escape velocity for the Little Prince?

Panel 3
Medium close-up of Tobi, hand on chin in a thoughtful pose. (Leave room for balloons.)

Tobi: It varies from the poles to the equator, but it's in the 850 kph range.

Tobi: He won't get up to those speeds, because TLP's air density is about that of Earth's. His terminal velocity will be about 200 kph.

Panel 4
Cut back to the Pale Man, now falling alarmingly fast, desperately but ineffectually blasting his maneuvering unit downward.

Caption: 'Of course that's fast enough to ruin his whole day.'
