Psst, Wanna Satellite?
from the very-expensive-cool-toys dept
No, I'm no talking about Iridium. Just turn to One Stop Satellite Solutions Inc. to get your very own mini-satellite. Apparently they plan to launch many small satellites using Russian nuclear missiles. So for about $45,000 you can buy your own satellite. I'm not sure if free shipping is included.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Yet another poke at .coms
Twiggs said his minisatellites are a valuable tool, even if their utility is not yet clear.
Wow! Sounds like a .com startup!
"To me, it's kind of like the Internet. What could you do with the Internet five years ago?"
Yep, the internet was pretty clear five years ago, too. If this is the comparison, when we look up in five years, will the sky be cluttered with useless junk?
