Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter 2

The epic Not-Safe.Space story continues with Part 2, and Scott requires funds to publish a print volume of _Not-Safe.Space_ Chapter 2.

This large-format, 48-page trade paperback is a must for fans of Eithne Lamdagan, aka The CUSH Queen, and her friends

The campaign begins Sunday, April 6 and concludes Tuesday, May 8.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Two-shot of Reggie and Ken. Reggie is waving a hand in gesture as he makes his objection.

Reggie: But Ken, those weren't just any songs, they were the same song.

Ken: There are mathematical rules to music, Reggie, just as there are to physics.

Panel 2
Looking over Ken's shoulder at Dr. Peña.

Ken (to Peña): I think if you examine wind velocity and directions around the Array, you will see a lot of repeating patterns...

Peña: Yes, there are ...

Panel 3
Medium shot of Peña, his chance to be professorial.

Peña: … but they are chaotically complex and only fractally repetitive.

Peña: We did an exhaustive site study before we constructed the Array.

Panel 4
This panel is showing what Peña is talking about. It's the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, a suspension bridge twisting around like a thing possessed and pulling itself apart.

Narration (Peña): 'Martian air is thin but if it subjected the Array support structures to simple harmonic resonance, it could eventually blow down the Array.'

Narration (Peña): 'Something like that caused the Tacoma Narrows Bridge failure.'
