I have a feeling that he might be underestimating the expenses.

Quote
Garzik first told CoinDesk about the plan back in December, estimating the costs associated with the project at $2m. However, in context, this is a relatively low figure – as the burgeoning private space industry continues to slash the expense of getting objects into orbit.

I find this very interesting. I would like more info and speculation on its overall impact on BTC future and valuation. Seems pretty major, if it gets off the ground, so to speak.

Did you see the movie "Gravity"?  Not a good idea to smash something in space.

Actually the Chinese had done it before.

The test is the largest recorded creation of space debris in history with at least 2,317 pieces of trackable size (golf ball size and larger) and an estimated 150,000 debris particles.

A) I never said it had to be done in space itself
B) it can be intercepted in "atmo" a number of ways by conventional weapons
C) even in space it would be easy pickings for any government to steal or disable even if they didn't just shoot it down

... that being said imagine how cool it would be to host your ASICs i space heat won't be an issue and solar powered for 24/7. Bet the only problem would be the bandwith/ "Satellite phone" bill. [Edit] oh yeah and latency.
