Satellite for sale, satellite for sale! SpaceDev is auctioning a private space mission on eBay. Current price is $250,000, but it is yours for $9.5m.

The high bidder has the right to supply his or her own payload, to name the SpaceDev MTV satellite and to name the mission. The winning bidder, which could be an individual, company or government agency, can also be involved in the mission design, satellite assembly and testing (including putting small personal items on the spacecraft), can attend the launch, and can participate in on-orbit operations.

What is cool about SpaceDev? It has the Propulsion System contract for SpaceShipOne.

What is not so cool is their financial report...

if I were a rich and famous pop star I would buy it, autograph it, and then sell it again and donate all the money to charity.

Maybe they have a two-for-one deal.
