🌙 Hello again! The Transcend survey has been completed and approved, and the Space Corp is very excited to start sending it out. They have informed me to release the Smoke Tests tonight (random 5% of surveys), and if they go well then the rest will go out tomorrow morning. You will still have until May 18 to complete your survey and submit your payment information and addresses. Now you will have an extra few days to do it!

This is also another reminder to double check your payment information and correct it ASAP. Currently, this project is STILL missing over $1,700 in funding, and it really is very important it comes in! You will have a chance to fix your payment method during the survey. Production will move ahead as scheduled. ☀️

NEW - APRIL 29 - Smoke test for surveys go out
NEW - APRIL 30 - All surveys go out if smoke test goes well

SEPTEMBER 15 - Remaining completed surveys charged for add-ons and shipping

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for being part of this exploration! Please let me know if you have any questions by emailing me at [email protected] as discussions in the Community tab are not regularly monitored. My next update will be in about 2.5 weeks with information about completed surveys.

Ad nova stellae!

P.S. disclaimer on all free items in any pledge from throughout this project... BEFORE DEC. 31, 2025, you need to successfully fill out your survey and pay for the final shipping costs to receive your pledge and any free rewards!

🌙 This is a gentle reminder to double check your payment information and correct is ASAP. Currently, this project is missing over $2,700 in funding (that's nearly 17%), which is critical to production of the unlocked Cosmic Cloud pins and other rewards too. While you have a chance to fix your payment method during the survey, fixing it now is more beneficial so that initial reward production can occur without any problems. ☀️

I just want to let you all know that there will be no tariff fees applied to any orders in this project. I added a buffer before the project began to cover the potential tariff increases, and as such I am ok with my budget, but still pretty annoyed about the tariffs overall. However, that buffer has significantly decreased because of the missing $2,700 in funds, eating almost my entire profit from this project. Please, if you are one of the 29 in the image above, fix your payment method! If for some reason you actually need to cancel your order, let me know too so that we aren't both sitting in limbo.

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for being part of this Transcending exploration! Please let me know if you have any questions by emailing me at [email protected] as discussions in the Community tab are not regularly monitored. My next update will be in about 1 week with information about the pledge manager surveys.

🌙 The Space Corp thanks you for your diligence in this journey, and your willingness to explore the furthest reaches of the Celestial realm! ☀️

Words are never enough, but I hope this REALLY BIG THANK YOU can help you understand how I feel right now! Over the next couple weeks, I'll be working on the pledge manager surveys and payments will begin processing for your initial pledge amount. Please feel free to ask questions, talk about the journey, or generally just hang out in the Community tab!

BackerKit will charge the card you used in your initial pledge. If it doesn't work, don't worry! You'll have multiple chances to update your card information before surveys are sent out. You'll also have a chance to update everything in the survey! There will be plenty of opportunities to make sure you get your rewards before the whole project closes for good on December 31, 2025.

Please remember, if you fail to pay for your final shipping costs, you WILL NOT receive your rewards.

I will have many previous project rewards available for add-on during the surveys. Celestial pins, Cafe pins, a plushie, art, and more will be added for 15% off my usual store pricing. By selling some of my stock at a discount, it should help to offset the 145% tariff costs this project will incur. Please be sure to check those out when filling out your survey!

You will be able to change your shipping address up until your survey is closed. After the lock down date, if you need to update your shipping address, please email [email protected], and I can manually update your shipping address. Please let me know as soon as possible that you need to update your address so I can change the address before your package is sent. If you fail to notify me of an address change, and your package is returned to me, I will ship it again but you will have to pay another shipping charge. 

You will receive a last call email for address changes before we start shipping packages.

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for being part of this Transcending exploration! Please let me know if you have any questions. My next update will be in about 2 weeks with information about the pledge manager surveys.

🌙 For reaching $15,000 in funding, the Space Corp is excited to announce new pins and stickers are available! These designs commemorate how far we've come, together, and how much further we will go. There are FOUR new tier options, one for each color as pins. They are also available as add-ons, PLUS a new add-on pack for all four designs as stickers!

It's the final 22 hours for this project, and these items will be available in very limited quantities after this project is done. If you want ANY of these items, then be sure to pledge NOW. And please share with your friends and any cosmic lovers you may know! ☀️
