    If the backers would please email me (wbaird at teamphoenicia dot org), I'd deeply appreciate it. We have raised almost all the money through other means: we're short about $10k. The Xprize foundation has given us a Feb 4 deadline for getting the cheques to them. We still need your help and using KS isn't feasible with that short of a deadline. We would NOT want you to cut cheques to us at all: they'd be addressed to the X Prize Foundation. thanx.

    First square taken! eternal memories. awesome. 89 remain.

    Someone is going to leave their memories, their dreams, their logo, their picture, their favorite joke, their thank you letter to their mother, their artwork, ETC. on the moon. and it will be seen across the globe.

    thank you to the first backer who decided they believed in us. thank you thank you! we can do the impossible only when the many believe.
