I am the creator of this Kickstarter project. Kickstarter mostly is used to promote the project. We're actually in fundraising mode in Boost accelerator before Demo Day 11th February. I agree with you that Kickstarter is not the best venue to raise money for highly technical project.

Ah, that explains why the Kickstarter page looked so..., well, sloppy. (No offence.) It seems as if one requires an entire marketing department to start a "proper" kickstarter these days.
This was done mostly to attract attention and publicity. Our team at Boost accelerator is fundraising 500k.
ahh. Was gonna email you telling you to offer ad spaces on your rockets (and/or classes) as reqards for the bigger contributions. Would attract corporate ppl.

(Not sre what kickstarter's ToS have to say about this though)
