Eau de Space and Kickstarter regrets

Did anybody else back this when the kickstarter was happening?
Remember in the early 90s when you'd go to the local computer swap and sniff cards to see if they were fried or not? When you got a bad one, this is that exact smell.
I received mine today and I have to say, if you love the smell of solder / welding, raspberry, cheap alcohol, and suffering -- this is the scent for you!
This is easily the worst smelling fragrance I have ever experienced. So bad, in fact, that if there is ever an opportunity to go to space, I will respectfully decline.
This was the first campaign I backed. It took roughly eight months for everything to come together... and it really has me questioning this model. So my question is, what have you backed and what was your experience?

Unlike the current tendency, unless I'm playing with my real-life friends, I don't care for multiplayer in shooters. I'm usually surrounded by highly skilled players that seemingly dedicate their lives to becoming experts in that game. I don't wanna become actually skilled, I wanna play in my own way and feel I am skilled in face of limited AI. You know, fantasy!
Most franchises are leaning towards multiplayer, and my playstyle is quickly becoming old fashioned. I recently purchased the Xbox Series S and would love suggestions of great shooters with a focus on offline missions. Especially historical shooters (like WWI and WWII), but not limited to it.
Thanks!

SpaceX's announcement: https://www.spacex.com/updates/inspiration-4-mission/index.html
Mission website: https://www.inspiration4.com/The flight, dubbed Inspiration4, is being paid for by Jared Isaacman, of Shift4 payments. He's taking three other people with him. The seat dubbed "Generosity" is being raffled for donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The "Hope" seat will go to a St. Jude ambassador. The "Prosperity" seat is a "Sign up for my company and tweet about it" thing.
