Big thanks to Mister Metokur and his followers!
🕑 Added 2018-12-10 05:32:54 +0000 UTC I had no idea my support base had grown so abruptly. This changes many things. This amount should be plenty to buy some custom acrylic. Getting MegaHab put together in time for warmer weather now seems pretty feasible!A couple points of clarification:
1. The gauge on the outside of Megahab is not a watch but a humidity meter which will allow me to monitor the humidity level of the air inside, which is important as an increase may indicate a slow leak.
2. The robot tank is not for use underwater but on the surface. It can be remotely controlled over the internet by anybody around the world. However this aspect of the project is on the back burner for the time being pending the completion of MegaHab.
3. I have in fact already built and deployed smaller habitats into a lake, a pond and extended missions in a large aquarium anybody can view in the Hampture youtube channel. The only incomplete element of the habitat program is MegaHab, as I bit off more than I could chew with it. The increased funding could not come at a better time!

Much appreciated. I thought this project was going nowhere, but all of a sudden I have all this new funding to work with. I'll for sure get in touch with Dick.
A while pack I also got you attention from Dick Masterson of The Dick Show. He really wants you to go on his show. He absolutely loves your project. You should totally go on his show :D
The work you're doing to further this noble field is admirable. I look up to you as a personal hero, and I know that history will hold your name in high esteem. Keep it up!
