You think you know what a satellite is
General wisdom is that satellites costs 100s of millions of USD, take years to develop and are only built by NASA, military and huge corporations. The reality is that satellites can and are being built for 100s of thousands of USD by small companies and even individuals, radically altering who and how we access space. This talk highlights this paradigm shift
