Thank God. My faith in humanity is restored. It keeps tracking lower every day. So much for predictions.

once you get past his sheep, there's not that many people dumb enough to fund such a "project".

Interesting pattern
On 5/23, 5/26 and today 5/29 he has gotten $500.00 donations and two or three small donations. I wonder who is still trying to pump this with $500.00 donations? I wonder if it's Etihad or someone else with something to gain? Maybe I read too many conspiracy theory books!

I wonder why he doesn't add a ~$10K option to fly with him?

IIRC you can't add levels after you start. i thought going into it that would have been a good idea - you'd likely get a backer at that level.
also, even if you could add it at this point, he'd lose some faith. he's said a few times that if he hit the mark he'd have a contest to give away the other seat. selling it now would be similar to moving the goalposts

Typo, I'm sure, but appropriate nevertheless.
Or maybe, "pay for his play."

A couple of days ago, Randy Tweeted that he was making a donation. I thought for sure that would push Coins over the top. I'm surprised he didn't close the gap.

He's going to need to haul in about $8,000 in 26 hours to make his goal. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out although it doesn't sound like his peeps are the ones making the big bucks donations.
