RE: Block Stream launches Bitcoin satellites to broadcast Bitcoin transactions from space! @BlockRush

How cool is this!? Wondering about the centralised ownership and the costs of the space 'vehicles' though. Very expensive operation to get them into space and to maintain them. Google and Facebook are experimenting with balloons in the stratosphere to provide communication to areas where in ground systems are in place. Sri Lanka for instance has several Google balloons to allow for extension of the internet to remote areas without ground radio communication. That would be lesser expensive to maintain. Having said that, great idea and hopefully they can execute.
