They need a track record. They need a launch site. Googling Neptune 30, Tubesat, Spaceport Tonga and anything else on their web site reminds me of a circular reference in Excel. Colour me suspicious.
I'm surprised no-one else has done the math on this. The website says they'll launch 30 tubesats on a flight. 30 x eight grand comes out just under a quarter million US dollars - and they say this will cover *all* associated services as well as the launch. I find it rather hard to believe that even the launch vehicle would only cost US$240K per flight.
