Launch Party: We’re going to space, and everyone’s invited (video)

Crowdfunding is enabling the do-it-yourself space age. From the world’s tiniest satellite to a rocket ship going to space, entrepreneurs are launching real space projects without government or academic support. A growing number of these projects are cropping up on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and elsewhere on the internet, which means people around the world have the chance to participate in a space mission.
