- NotSammyHagar 7y agolooks like the economist did something to that page so it isn't viewable on archive.org.
- ExodusOrbitals1 7y agoShamelessly pitching our own project here: https://www.exodusorbitals.com https://www.exodusorbitals.com A crowd-flyable satellite! Only second of its kind.
- notahacker 7y agoJust found your original HN submission and can't believe it didn't get any traction! Hope all goes well in Darmstadt
- ExodusOrbitals1 7y agoThanks! 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.
- tectonic 7y agoI’d be interested in interviewing you for Orbital Index. Send me an email.
- ExodusOrbitals1 7y agoWill do!
- ExodusOrbitals1 7y agoDo 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
- NotSammyHagar 7y agoYeah, sadly no comments, it was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20077651 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20077651.
- ShorsHammer 7y agoThis needs a re-submission. Not even one comment for an amazing concept.
- ExodusOrbitals1 7y agoI might post it again in the context of OPS_SAT workshop results.
- areoform 7y agoHey 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?
- ExodusOrbitals1 7y agoIt is contact[at]exodusorbitals.com, unless you already found it!
- tectonic 7y agoShameless 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. https://orbitalindex.com/ https://orbitalindex.com/
- DuskStar 7y agoDo you have an RSS feed?
- 1123581321 7y agoYou can convert emails to RSS using Zapier or another service. https://zapier.com/apps/email/integrations/rss/1363/add-a-new-rss-posts-via-email https://zapier.com/apps/email/integrations/rss/1363/add-a-ne... Some RSS readers, e.g. Newsblur, also offer this feature.
- DuskStar 7y agoI honestly hadn't realised that Newsblur offered that - and it's the RSS reader I've been using since Google Reader died. Thanks!
- Shivatron 7y agoWanted 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).
- tectonic 7y agoThank you for your kind words :)
- ethbro 7y agoI 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."
