This kind of reminds me of an idea I had about helping NASA through crowdfunding for certain projects. It's obvious with all these platforms there should be a potential end to risks. Websites like EarlyShares.com are an upcoming example of a platform that's going beyond creative projects. The same way that Crawford and Ligon succeeded with crowdfunding on this particular project it's kind of obvious that people could donate to a cause if they carry the same vision as you. I hope that more people decide to use crowdfunding for activist projects like this and other scientific researches to help solve health problems. Ideally though I would like to see a campaign to help with more NASA projects. Anyways, this was an awesome article. I'm definitely tweeting this on my Twitter account.
