Next week, the future course of Europe’s space sector will be set as ministers of the European Space Agency’s 20 Member States come together in Italy.

Ministers in charge of space activities within the 20 ESA Member States and Canada will meet in Naples on 20–21 November to agree on ESA’s future space programmes, aiming to boost Europe’s competitiveness and growth along with scientific advances.
Given the success of kickstarter projects in computer games, I expect to see more, and more diverse projects funded in similar ways.

This project - Fight For Space - Space Program & NASA Documentary - for education was funded via kickstarter.

I haven't seen any larger, real space programs funded yet. Probably for good reasons, but who knows..?

What kind of space program would you fund?
How much would you be willing to spend?
What kind of benefit/insight for yourself, your nation, collaboration of nations or NGO would you like to see from your funding?
What type of organization would you trust enough to fund large amounts of money? NASA, ESA, something new?
If a more altruistic and loosely based organization was funded by a public, perhaps supported by various governments - what kind of positive implications would it bring against national or corporate organizations?
