Seems to be equally about raising this private aerospace company profile, but I'm not going to complain too loudly about money going to ICU of a children's hospital. The $1 per view thing is just a little odd to me is all.

Usually when fund-raising uses a "$ per X" model, the goal is to raise awareness beyond the current fundraising initiative in order to encourage other people to engage in their own acts of charity.

They should put this on the front page of Steam if they really mean to raise a lot of money for the cause.

Good cause, weird way to go about it...

Welp, godspeed little Gnome! May you return safely t-....

The 150 mm gnome will remain attached to the Kick Stage during all mission phases and will burn up upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere during the de-orbiting process.

Wait.. WHAAAT!?

But seriously, I forgot that both L4D and Tales of Arcadia both have gnomes with the same name.

So..wouldn't this attribute to additional payload costs? burn valuable titanium metal during reentry?
The Electron rocket has a payload capacity of 300 kg to low Earth orbit. This rocket usually does a ride share, where it has several payloads going up at once. Rocket Lab, the company that makes the Electron, has an incentive to maximize the amount of customers per launch. There was apparently some free kilograms not being used so Gabe bought a ticket
