Elite on Kickstarter

Does anyone remember the old space sim Elite? The creators of Elite are doing a Kickstarter to raise the funds to create a modern Elite game.

I fell in love with the original game as a kid. I highly suggest giving it a look over and consider pledging.

How amazing would it be to play Artemis style in an Elite universe?
