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
Exterior view of the Free Bird descending through Terra's lower stratosphere. Very dark sky above, getting a bit lighter going down. Mainly so that we can see the aircraft, show a bit of re-entry glow around it (not a blazing fire, just a bit of friction-burn riding along the craft's shock-wave).
Caption: As Free Bird descends into Terra's atmosphere ...
Drenkowski (from inside the spacecraft): We'll be landing in a bit less than a centime.

Panel 2
Inside the cockpit of Free Bird, Drenkowski, Bert, Ernie, Mac and Nisa as before.
Drenkowski: Local time is 03:20.
Drenkowski: Everyone down there, except night guards, should be in their deepest level of sleep.

Panel 3
Again, exterior view of Free Bird, this time from above. Several miles below and ahead of the craft, we can see a really long runway, leading to some large hangars. It's night-time, but thanks to the magic of comics we can still see the runway, and the hangars themselves are well-lit with exterior flood-lights.
Drenkowski (from inside the spacecraft): So far, my instruments indicate we have not been detected.
Drenkowski: Since Free Bird is a 'short takeoff and landing' craft we won't need most of the runway, and can set down near those big hangars.
