Thats a really cool project!
However, I'm completely turned off by the attitude of his presentation.
BIG SATELLITES SUCK!! TINY SATELLITES ARE TEH BOSS!! MOAR SATELLITES!!!! KESSLER SYNDROM RULEZ!!
Technology miniaturization already allows more instruments per payload. He makes it sound like there is no reason to have a large spacecraft anymore and pokes fun clean room assembly. In my opinion its a big headed and pompous kid that needs to be humbled.
He's also completely disregarding this:

He should be talking about the advantages his project has over satellites like MODIS TERRA & AQUA which already produce and publish daily, downloadable imagery of the whole Earth. Is weather satellite imagery decades old? Maybe his project compiles cloudless images at a higher resolution...or something. It makes it seem like he doesn't know anything about the industry or who his competitors are.
