Interesting. But if they word it properly, and the $1 donation is
strictly to support the mission, then only donors can "tweet" or
whatever. Since it's not for-profit venture anyway.....

The funding concept of this CubeSat is $1 will sponsor 10 seconds of the

It uses a balloon de-orbit mechanism.
See video at http://www.uk.amsat.org/?p=8435
Stikes me that a $1 donation for a message might be pushing FCC regs a bit
should it be using 437 MHz.
