The Pioneer Plaque Kickstarter

The Pioneer Plaque Kickstarter is one of the more interesting projects I’ve run across on Kickstarter. It’s already over (successfully funded!), but Duane King used the platform to raise money to create replicas of the plaque that accompanied Pioneer 10 when it was launched on March 3, 1972.

Today, there are only three plaques in the universe, two of which are billions of kilometers away from our planet, while the third is in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

Now, I’m bringing the plaque back to Earth.

PolyHero Dice

PolyHero Dice is a clever reimagining of polyhedral dice for role-playing games, that started with a successful 2015 Kickstarter.

Ancient Astronaut Mission Patches

This has to be one of the best Kickstarters of all time: NAZCA – Ancient Astronaut Mission Patches.

The NAZCA: Ancient Astronaut Mission Patch Set is a 3-pack of embroidered patches commemorating the ancient space travel missions of intergalactic visitors to Planet Earth.

Not content with merely leaving enigmatic and gargantuan architecture behind, these ancient ambassadors also wanted to immortalize their visits with embroidered patches commemorating these missions.

Each patch features one of their main spaceport landing sites established here on Earth 432,000 years ago: Easter Island Outpost, Sphinx Central and Stonehenge Station.
