A Non-Horsey Post: Be part of launching a space telescope!
ARKYD is a space telescope built by Planetary Resources that will be partially funded through Kickstarter. This allows the public to be a part of building a robot spaceship!  They have some great options for the public to be part of the science of outer space on Kickstarter as well as plans for schools to be involved in researching space.
You can check out Planetary Resources and read about their plans for the ARKYD telescope and for mining asteroids at their website: http://www.planetaryresources.com/
And you can join their Kickstarter project at: 

The scientific pony has supported ARKYD and will be getting a “Space Selfie”.  We will be taking some pictures of our own Doktor Pepper and Einsteed.  Later we will need your input on which picture to send to space.
Here is some info on ARKYD provided by Planetary Resources:
