Satellites are becoming smaller and less expensive, mostly due to the advances in electronics, while the launch costs remain prohibitive for mass commercial use. Launch costs for a typical telecommunications satellite are around $120 MM USD. This short technical paper proposes a method for placing a 500 kg (1100 lb) satellite in orbit for less than $2 USD. The avoided-cost savings for the US, could exceed $50 Billion USD over twenty years. This technology is based on a derivative of time travel. Each reader must comprehend that our universe literally blinks, off and on, more than 1 trillion times every second.
