Hackers want to circumvent Censorship by moving to Satellite Grid

Hackers want to eliminate Web censorship with satellite grid – TechSpot News.

In what appears to be a pipe dream.  A group of #hackers associated with Chaos Computer club out in Stuttgart, Germany.  Appears to have plans to launch their own communications satellites into space.
The team expects to have a three prototype ground stations ready by first half of 2012.  Each ground station would cost roughly $130.00.

The launch itself would have to  involve amateur rockets or a balloon launched system as the price tag to put such a dream aloft would be very pricey indeed.

This seems to be one approach to fend off the #SOPA legislation.

Chaos computer club is a bunch of ‘hobbyist hackers, tinkerers and part time scientists’ based out of Stuttgart, Germany.  Their ultimate goal is to put an amateur hacker astronaut on the moon.
