Nanotech now has the capability to make the space elevator and private orbital launchers possible.
It also now makes possible the long desired 'flying cars'.
This crowdfunding campaign is to prove these are indeed the case.
Nanotech: from air to space.

I've seen the post on your blog, but haven't responded. This thing is quite remarkable. Hows the funding going?

Not so good. I'm applying to some venture capital firms. Peter Thiel head of the Founders Fund investment firm once famously said, "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters."
So I'm optimistic his firm will be interested in investing.
Here's the tech background to the "flying cars" portion to the proposal. Note that it would also make possible real hoverboards, Back to the Future will only have been off by 1 year.
Carbon nanotubes for "ionic wind" craft or "ionocraft".
