I somehow doubt that buying a flight to carry P3D is a realistic goal,

but I'm going to send my check for 100$ today anyway.  To me, it 
is intuitively obvious that the amateur radio community wants
to have satellites, and as long as this collective will exists,
the satellites are going to fly.  The history of AMSAT proves
that failures just don't exist.  Setbacks happen, but not failures.
I can't imagine anyone that is actually personally involved
with this project just walking away.  Therefore, I'm confident 
that my money will be well spent.
