Interesting. But if they word it properly, and the $1 donation is strictly to support the mission, then only donors can "tweet" or whatever. Since it's not for-profit venture anyway.....

The funding concept of this CubeSat is $1 will sponsor 10 seconds of the mission and what you get for that 10 seconds is the ability to broadcast a message from space, “effectively tweet from space”.
It uses a balloon de-orbit mechanism.

Stikes me that a $1 donation for a message might be pushing FCC regs a bit should it be using 437 MHz.
