kwinkles posted:lol at consumer grade electronics in space. they say they're sending up multiple arduinos for error correction but all the censors built with a normal bulk silicon process will also have latchup and flipped bits all over the place so good luck with that. are you really going to get many SEUs in a LEO? If they're in a polar orbit u may worry about the saa but even then its like 1 every 15 days or something. last place I worked they were designing two craft to observe the van allen belts by flying through them

This sounds a lot like Gapminder, but CaptainMeatpants posted:ill-informed, confused MBA project idea i've ever seen https://www.bit.ly/NbK4G5 make sure to hit play, and check out the different categories on the left and bottom. You can graph any development metric against any other one; its really loving cool and the guy who made it is really brilliant. Gapminder has an extremely clear purpose. I don't see how they can do this without having a small army of people to comb for data. They somehow manage to assemble all of this data, keep it up to date, and the importantly keep it authenticateable. They specifically cite sources from the UN (WHO, FAO), as well as organizations like World Bank and BP. Even more impressive, Gapminder has chosen to offer all of this data they've compiled as a download--for free. Your idea seems to (as others have mentioned) gloss over the hard parts of the steps to doing useful analysis. Build it, and the data will appear. Download the gapminder database. Literally all of the hardwork has been done. The data is all relatable, its up to date, and there is a fuckload of it. Explain (or demonstrate) something novel and interesting that statpedia can do with entire global histories of different stats.

Ian, thanks for ignoring my earlier post. it was srs and I put a good 10 minutes into it. You are clearly currently putting a ton of time and effort into this. What are you going to do with kickstarter funding that you aren't doing now? Traditionally with startups you work and hope it pays out, but you are approaching this in the opposite way. Get a payout, then hope it works. With something like the elevation dock, they needed funding to begin production. What are you going to do with this funding that you can't do now? edit: also join a Toastmasters in your area. You need to remove things like verbal pauses (um, uh) if you want to actually sell this.
