Crowdfund a Moon Monolith Mission?

Jamie found a somewhat amusing little essay on putting together a crowd-sourced mission to put a monolith on the moon. The author estimates it would cost half a billion dollars, which is a sum he thinks could be raised. Although personally, I think a half a billion dollars could be put to better use, it's a fun thought exercise.

The switch from Mayan to Gregorian was hard on us all.

Another one?

I propose raising .887 trillion dollars and giving it to corrupt business people.
