Look, I don’t know how a space science fundraiser can possibly be more appealing than this:

So here’s the what’s going on

@cosmoquestX is a long-running community science project mapping the solar system. Ethics are good, science is good, proven results, published papers, all that jazz.

But their NASA grant was cut short.

You can donate here: tiltify.com/+cosmoquest-su…

For Reasons, @cosmoquestX can’t directly solicit your donations until 2019 (...sigh...), but I promise it’s a legit fundraiser for a great science project run by good people.

Bonus: A 40hr livestream is going on NOW (& I may just be a surprise guest popping by for gleeful doom).

Who wants to talk doom?

I’m visiting @cosmoquestX’s fundraising livestream next! I’m down for getting unnervingly cheerful about doom, running through current events, diving into scifi science, or wherever your curiosity leads.

Whoops! Minor chaos!

Tune in NOW for @BadAstronomer talking death from the skies (& just maybe a wee bit of fanboy squealing over my beloved Stargate), and I’ll be joining in +1hr from now for MORE DOOM.

Bonus: Fluffy is all decked up for the holidays.

Hey, ho, let’s go! Now @BadAstronomer warmed you up for galactic doom, let’s get down to Earth with our disasters. I’m about to crash into the @cosmoquestX fundraiser hangoutathon!

Watch along & donate here: tiltify.com/+cosmoquest-su…

(Yes, Fluffy is with me & all decked out)

Have questions? Want to get your particular disaster covered? Wanna talk scifi? Donate to @cosmoquestX with a memo and we’ll swap to your topic next. :D

My philosophy in a nutshell:
