You missed his point. He may have started out doing it as a "kindness and out of a willingness to help" but he passed that point when he started asking for donations, and when your costs get up to $28 million dollars a year, I doubt you can even see the original point with the Hubble telescope.

I agree. It's just professional begging. Personally I think it's all strategy and that they will do a facebook, and quickly go from not wanting ads to existing mainly for ads. All this is just whipping up a nice demand for when they start........
