Introducing “Satellight” – the satellite-launching company that can’t quite seem to get off the ground. In an effort to save money after failing to secure any meaningful funding, the company has decided to cut expenses in some pretty creative ways.
For starters, they’ve ditched their fancy, high-tech equipment in favor of using a giant trebuchet to launch their satellites into space. It may not be the most sophisticated method, but it’s definitely cost-effective.
They’ve also downsized their team significantly. Instead of hiring experienced scientists and engineers, they’ve recruited a group of amateur rocket enthusiasts who are very passionate about space – even if they have no idea what they’re doing.
And if that wasn’t enough, Satellight has even resorted to advertising their launches as “space-themed fireworks displays” in an effort to increase revenue. It may not be entirely truthful, but hey – it’s all about branding, right?
Despite their many setbacks, Satellight remains optimistic about their future. Who needs millions of dollars in funding when you’ve got a trebuchet and a dream? We wish them the best of luck (and hope they don’t accidentally launch any satellites into someone’s backyard).
