SO LONG, SISYPHUS/HELLO, TIPPING POINT—WE HIT 50% FUNDED!

HOORAH! Fellow writer and business owner (as well as mother to two of my top long-standing students, Bronza and Ganon) Ms Lara Fox, pushed us up and over the "tipping point"—we are now over 50% funded!!

 
So let us continue on this epic journey. As my publishers Adam Gomolin and Thad Woodman at Inkshares point out, "50% is great but every student in America should own this book." In other words, we are halfway there, it's true. But remember what Teddy Roosevelt said, "Believe you can and you're halfway there." Meaning, we were already halfway to our goal just by first setting out!

I do believe in space. I believe in space because I believe in the value of encouraging young students to envision a future that is 1) awesome and 2) has them in it. That's almost certainly like a lot of us all, and especially our backers.

So let us continue on this epic journey. Share The Astronaut Instruction Manual for Pre-Teens with friends and family who you know "get" it, and who also are working for a hope-filled, fantastic future for our students.

With 18 days to go, we are doing great. And the more students whose hands we can put a book into that fosters belief in themselves and a hope-filled future, the better off we are all going to be. 

That's it. Spread the word: Epic journey ahead, thataway!
