Space Safety Bleg
I’m about to launch another Kickstarter project to actually publish the Space Safety book (current title: Safe Is Not An Option: How Our Futile Obsession To Bring Everyone Back Is Killing Spaceflight). I’m trying to raise a few thousand to allow me to pay some people for a professional editing and illustration, and to start planning a symposium on the subject in conjunction with the Space Transportation Conference in DC in February, less than three months from now.
The book will probably be about a hundred pages, paperback. I don’t expect it to be a best seller at any price, but is ten bucks a reasonable number to get a book as a Kickstarter reward? I could sell for less, but I wouldn’t make much on it, unless I get enough interest to do an offset printing.
