Phase 1 Goal: $150,000

---

When Egyptian Government took away Internet from their Millions of Citizens they like to address as "Protestants", [link=http://www.linkedin.com/pub/8/608/477]Kosta Grammatis[/link] formed [link=http://buythissatellite.org/team.php]a Team[/link] with an expensive idea for their (and probably for similar countries') aid.

Kosta believes passionately that access to information is a human right and founded [link=ahumanright.org]ahumanright.org[/link] to pursue his vision of a connected world. He was the lead scientist for the video camera enabled prosthetic eye called the "eyeborg project" that was awarded one of TIME Magazines best invention of 2009. He worked for Space Exploration Technologies and was lead engineer of a satellite that is now currently in orbit. He works closely with the MIT Media Labs as a visiting researcher.

While nobody knows the actual Amount needed, Phase 1 Goal of $150,000 is just a start.
This all may seem like a Big-budget Multi-starrer Movie, but this is reality and a dream of Kosta.

More than 1100 people are trying to make this dream come true, are you?
