Hi folks, it's been about two years since we last passed the hat to raise the money it takes to keep unmannedspaceflight.com going. We need to raise $5000 this time around. You can donate here. For U.S. taxpayers, the entire amount of your donation is tax-deductible.
Our hosting costs about $1000 per six months. This fundraiser will cover 1.5 years of hosting that the Society has already paid for, plus our December bill, plus about $1000 worth of administration costs accumulated over those last two years. If we can manage to raise $6000 then we'll be able to go for a whole year before we run another fundraiser But we're setting the goal of $5000 because that's all we need for now. Thanks in advance for your support. To monitor how the fundraiser is going, there is a little thermometer gizmo on the donation form. Let's see if we can raise the money within a week! -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

That problem should now be resolved. Can anybody who was formerly having trouble confirm? It should've been confined to IE8. You may need to refresh a few times or shift-F5 to get rid of cached assets.

Thank you Emily & IT guys, donation page works fine also in IE8 now even with all restriction at my work. 50$ added into purse for this beloved portal - happy to support it. Thanks to UMSF admins and all contributors for this wonderful place to be still so good and worth of visiting every day! |

I tried to make a donation but the page said my address was not a correct billing address, which is kind of odd.
