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.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Sweet Liberty rockets through space – backwards, as she is decelerating towards her goal.
Lili (from ship): I thought you said this 'toid was around 200 meters in diameter. What gives?
Ernie (from ship): That was the Space Watch estimate.
Panel 2
In the control room of the ship, Lili is peering into one of the monitors as Ernie looks on.
Lili: Well, this baby is more like half a klick, round as a bowling ball and black as a politician's soul.
Panel 3
Medium shot of Ernie, looking thoughtful.
Ernie: Maybe the low albedo explains the bad estimate for its diameter.
Ernie: How does it look on radar? My guess is that it has a poor return.
Panel 4
Medium shot of Lili, adjusting some control on the monitor.
Lili: Your guess is right, Ernie.
Lili: This eight-ball is absorbing way more microwaves than it should.
Lili: It's covered in – something stealthy.
Panel 5
Exterior shot of Sweet Liberty very close to the planetoid, a huge black sphere 12 times wider than the ship's length. Her main thrusters are quiet, but some small maneuvering thrusters may be firing.
Caption: Shortly …
Lili (from ship): We're at 50 meters now, closing at 75 cm per beat on the southern pole.
Ernie (from ship): Contact in 70 beats ...

Panel 6
In the control room, we see Lili and Ernie in the foreground, as well as Libby and Robyn in the background, having sneaked onto the control deck. All are reacting in surprise, and clutching at hand-holds as the ship shakes around them.
