That is a pretty cool engineering feet. Never knew a shoe box sized telescope can give such detailed pictures.<p>They have sent about 200 satellites, cost "six figures" each, so an estimate of 200,000 a piece, they have spent about 40 million dollars, excluding the price of launches.<p>The data collected is definitely worth the price IMO. Imagine the ability to monitor storms and hurricanes, analyze their data and update our climate models.<p>They have about 80 million in funding alone, which is incredible.<p>I wonder what else is possible with so many eyes in the sky.
