Hey explorers,
I want to share a final update about our Kickstarter campaign. Unfortunately we did not reach our goal and I have felt a lot of dread about saying that out loud. It is painful to fall short and to worry about letting people down. I feel sad and disappointed, but I have spent time reflecting on what contributed to this outcome. I was not able to build enough momentum before we launched, and I struggled to communicate the full value of this unique project and what I am creating. Those are things I plan to learn from and improve.
Thank you to every single person who showed up for this work. Thank you for watching One Minute Mission, commenting, offering ideas, sharing your enthusiasm and backing the campaign. Your support meant a great deal to me. In a world where we are flooded with information, you chose to give some of your limited time and attention to a project about exploration, curiosity and human achievement. For that, I am deeply grateful.
The Expedition Log will still be completed. The book will be printed once we secure another path for funding and I will reach out to everyone who supported the project so you can receive a copy when it is ready.
This is not the end. We got knocked down, but we will keep going. I am taking everything I learned from this experience and using it to create stronger, clearer, and more engaging work in the future.
This Universe is extraordinary, full of mystery and wonder, and there is so much left to discover. I hope you will continue to carry that spirit of adventure with you every day.
