"It" refers to the jackpot, not a satellite.

Get rob.
Loss by wind.
Spend it carelessly.
Do something else.

Same could happen to a 2 ton satellite.

Get robbed - self explanetory
Loss by wind - push it off course
Spend it carelessly - sell it and spend the money carelessly
Do something else - errr... Do something else?

I could use this to make an incredibly secure external hard drive.

Are you sure? Cosmic radiation can do great damage to data. :P

Then...
I build a huge Lead box, it'll be heavy, but either way, nobody can access it.
Even me.

Maybe a system with three or more hard drives, which check that their content is the same, and if one file is corrupted (different) then the system checks the 2+ other files and repair the corrupted file.

I want to send up a satellite full of snausages just to say "Hey I put a bunch of snausages into space, beat that"

I'll just send two up into space, and say nothing.  :P

I'd send one away from our solar system into deep space. Attached to the satellite-turned-probe will be a capsule, in said capsule will be miniature, realistic rag-dolls. In the off-chance an extra terrestrial race finds the capsule, they may think it's an alien space station gone astray. They then think the human race is composed of wee folk.

I like the way you think.

They're time traveling aliens. In a few days they'll show up with adorable tiny sweaters.

Either way, if I build my own satellite I'm going to build it and put it into orbit with my own bare damn hands! None of these "kits" and "regulations".

Just gotta string 1800 model rockets together in an elaborate but efficient 1800 stage rocket.

Payload would trail behind on a tether... opens up via a remote control. Could work.


...


Also, I'll need some snausages.
