NASA is too important to lose funding just because it's not cost effective. Help raise the awareness!

You know what else isnt cost effective? War, but we seem to not have any problems spending for that.

We Are The Explorers UPDATE: funding at 50%!

As you might know, NASA cannot advertise itself. This is due to a federal restriction that the government places on itself as a whole. It can reach out publicly to explain what it does for the public, but the advertising landscape for a federal agency is complex. So, as a result NASA cannot advertise itself in a traditional, commercial sense. 

The AIA (Aerospace Industries Association) is so stoked about what NASA does, that they have decided to advertise on behalf of NASA. AND, they've decided to crowdsource this effort with Indiegogo.com. ANNNDDD they are planning on showing the ad with the new Star Trek Into Darkness movie that is coming out this year!

This comes at a crucial time when NASA's own public outreach is threatened due to the Sequestion fight in Washington DC.

So, as it stands, the effort is a little bit over 50% funded. PLEASE spread the word about this and donate to this effort, because the more eyes that see this ad, the more potential supporters NASA will have in the coming months.
