According to my HP 12c, 750,095/8,171 equals $91.80 per backer, assuming a straight line distrubution.Is there a different distribution curve which the site would reveal?
You were more accurate John.Obviously kicktraq rounds down.
There has been at least a quarter of a million donated by a very small handful of people. I think "Blackstar" may be correct up to a point...

Kicktraq trending tracker hasnt been very accurate here. The "trending towards" ( which probably just does curve approximation ? ) is ticking down every day.
That's one heck of a bump, good on them for that.

Exoplanets are fun, and basic research into planetary formation is important stuff. But asteroids are a) an existential threat2. a treasure trove of useful resourcesSure, this is a valid use. But still...
