I'd imagine that i can hire some people to explore space for me for $345.
I'll wait to the day's end when the moon is high
And then I'll rise with the tide with a lust for life, I'll
Amass an army, and we'll harness a horde
And then we'll limp across the land until we stand at the shore
You can hire some people to explore for you IN GAME. For instance:

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/COMET
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/ALERACORP
etc.
Star Citizen Organisations ! Never fly alone, if you don't want to ...

Its a crowdfunding project.
You can give 20 $. Or as many bucks as you want and can afford. You mileage may vary. No one forces you to pay 345 $.
We backers make it possible. We backers make it happen. We backers help promote.
We backers provide ideas, feedback, input and playtesting.
We backers help to make it a great success and a milestone in the space sim genre !
WE ARE LEGION ! ;-) 660.804 at the time of writing.

I self identify as a monkey.
Neither.

including the explanation why Star Citizen is a multiplayer game, but NOT a massively multiplayer game.
Contrary to some negative propaganda squallers here that claim that SC consists only of ship jpgs you can already test-fly various ships in PvE, PvP and Co-op dogfighting. You can also race with your buddies. FPS shooter module will be ready for testing shortly. Status of project is communicated by CIG in elaborate detail in numerous ways if one cares to read/look/hear.

The only thing that exists is a concept art. We don't know if this ship is any good at all. Please stop spreading false information.
An online shop that sells JPG images of virtual ships. None of these exist, have been modeled or textured. They do not exist in any game and there is to date no game.
Incorrect.
Many (not all) ships already exist in game and can be used in dogfighting playtesting.
Up-to-date unofficial player list of ship status:

You are correct in stating that there is no (complete) game yet. SC is in non-feature-complete pre-alpha at the moment.
Have fun.
THIS is the official state of the game according to Chris Roberts:

The dogfighting module is something a small group of developers can do in a year if they purchased the Engine like RSI did. They would also not need $60mil to do it. A million would be plenty to get you a dogfighting module of the same quality as SC delivered so far. Most likely in less time too.

Let's not ignore the fact that they spend most cash and time creating High Quality trailers and Brochures for their virtual spaceship sales. Create a mock TV Show (Next big starship or whatever) and an extremely elaborate webpage.
----
Please don't get me wrong. I am a Backer too, day one. But this whole selling spaceship business has gotten out of hand and the game has been pushed back to reach the $100 million he want's to reach.
It's not about the game any more, it's about reaching $100 million crowd funded to satisfy his inflated ego.
You backers are also the ones out of $60 million (or more) if this project goes tits up.
----
A risk worth taking?
For me personally - yes !
It was already worth it even now - to come into contact with so many great and like-minded people via the various Star Citizen forums.
Have fun
And HELL YEAH ... what a great community we have build !!
IMHO for Chris Roberts its always about the game, not the money. I met him and his team during Gamescon 2014. I got the impression of a man driven to create something great. Someone who could not care less about the money while he is in that "Lets get it done !" mode. Money is something you regrettably need to make your vision into reality. Money is a means to acheive something truely exeptional.

i agree games are expensive to make mow adays. However there should be a point it reaches where they go to REAL investors to fund that process not the people. You got to give it to him though people are paying for the production of his game and wont see a cent of the proceeds.
IMO that point was reached long ago and now he;s stretching and taking advantage, but thats just me
I think the whole POINT of crowdfunding is to avoid the "real investors", who only care about return-of-investment and not about the (quality of the) game. Backers do not expect a share of the proceeds ... their "payment" is the game they want in the quality they want.
Have fun
I agree and I think they've gotten greedy and are taking advantage now of those that backed the project.

My personal guess: end of 2016 (Persistent Universe Launch). However, you will be able to play various modules (e.g. Arena Commander, FPS, social etc.) and the solo campaign Squadron 42 before that.
The "Cashshop" as you call it is a community financed crowdfunding campaign.
Have fun
