It was so ironic that the consumer savings guy on Keiser Report Google hangout just now made the comment "the early [Bitcoin] adopters probably can afford their own satellite infrastructure now!". And he had no idea that Jeff Garzik announced an initiative to do exactly that only a few days ago.

This is awesome!  Jeff Garzik is a great person to organize this.  I may donate a significant sum (well, significant to me at least) to this project. 

Are there threads on this forum where Jeff discusses this idea and his plans to bring it to fruition?  I'd feel more comfortable donating if I heard that this is indeed going forward straight from the horse's mouth (or the horse's PGP key).

I see they have now received $23,000 in pledges:

The bitcoin community has chased a lot of big ideas, but this has to be one of the biggest!  Well done Jeff for thinking big.  Anything is possible - this can happen!  This will definitely boost the "intrinsic value" of bitcoins for everyone by bringing the blockchain to every square meter of the Earth's surface!  Keep thinking big!

It's going to be tough to get it to stay up there for any considerable amount of time, but best of luck!
