Spacevidcast 6.15: Crowdfunding your next space program

The latest Spacevidcast live program video is now online: Crowdfunding your next Space Program – Spacevidcast.

This is from the capiton:

Planetary Resources introduced a $1,000,000 kickstarter project and raised over 1/2 the funds required in 2 days! Does this mean that crowd funded space programs will start cropping up more often?

In Space News we look at recent launches, radiation in space, Rats on Mars and the Space Launch System. We are joined by Douglas Messier of ParablicArc.com for an update on ISDC as well as what is going on in Mojave.
