Sure, these projects seem quirky now, but that scrappy amateur fusion reactor might blow up the earth. Fund at your own risk.

This project has been in the news all day, a 2km space elevator designed to hover over the moon first, and then eventually earth. The founders sound legit, but isn't this the sort of thing you might want to let NASA handle?
