To give an otherwise unfunded project the chance to go to space, however slim, is worth far more than a tesla roadster with an astronaut mannequin, and costs far less. What was their satellite design going to do on earth?
Plus if it blows up, you could still say your satellite blew up on launch. Not the worst story there is to tell.
