Shamelessly pitching our own project here:

https://www.exodusorbitals.com

A crowd-flyable satellite! Only second of its kind.

Hey Dennis! I'm super passionate about such projects and I think I can help out a bit. Is there an email where I can write to you?

It is contact[at]exodusorbitals.com, unless you already found it!

Just found your original HN submission and can't believe it didn't get any traction! Hope all goes well in Darmstadt

Yeah, sadly no comments, it was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20077651.

This needs a re-submission. Not even one comment for an amazing concept.

I might post it again in the context of OPS_SAT workshop results.

Thanks! We got a warm reception for our concept from online communities , but it is an uphill battle to have your voice heard on the Internet.

I’d be interested in interviewing you for Orbital Index. Send me an email.

Do you have a public email address? I used a form on your personal website to send you a message.

Let me know if that worked. Dennis

Will do!

I heard a great quip about PCs -- their transformative power wasn't in accelerating operations that were already being run on mainframes, but allowing calculations to be automated that had never been before.

This feels a lot like that. It's easy to forget the pent up demand "if the price were X lower."

Shameless self-promotion: If you’re interested in cubesats and commercial space, subscribe to Orbital Index. Our next issue is about interplanetary cubesats and all of the interesting projects launching on the Falcon Heavy on the 24th.

Wanted to plug this; no connection other than being a subscriber. It's well-written, not spammy in the slightest, and a good overview of what's interesting in commercial spaceflight—especially for someone like me (physics background but no industry connection).

Thank you for your kind words :)

Do you have an RSS feed?

You can convert emails to RSS using Zapier or another service. https://zapier.com/apps/email/integrations/rss/1363/add-a-ne...

Some RSS readers, e.g. Newsblur, also offer this feature.

I honestly hadn't realised that Newsblur offered that - and it's the RSS reader I've been using since Google Reader died. Thanks!

looks like the economist did something to that page so it isn't viewable on archive.org.
