I agree that it's a tough deal, one that's filled with unknowns. If you overestimate, you price things out of the range of what the market will bear and you get no backers. If you underestimate, you get pissed off customers. What motivates us is not the money we raised or the guilt of delivering, but the potential of what we're doing. KS has done a good job of giving us an audience to speak to. An audience to educate on what we can do. Without this connection it's likely R&D projects like ours would take much longer to surface, even though their impact on society is a good one.
