It'll be very nice when we can launch one for $30K, but that day is not here.
Now that will be a game changer. Imagine cubesats as common as high altitude amateur radio balloons. Even if Elon cranks out Falcons like sausages and reuses them, LVs are still pretty expensive.
Where is the "question authority" sentiment now
it's there but when you speak out, you will get flamed for it as unpatriotic terrist commie pinko. or you get ignored. Getting back to media, nobody knows what is going on in Iraq or Afghanistan. Information is out there but difficult find. i.e. nobody in US knows the difference between a Sunni and a Shia. Or how did ISIS become so strong so quick. Information is out there but many articles either veer toward putting blame on someone (i.e. Obama's or Bush's fault). Or article is very long and very esoteric, will take many years to fully understand. Or what about all that money spent but infrastructure is still very third world country?
So do you really want the uninformed/non interested making a vote. Then it really could become a popularity contest instead of more on the facts.

The best book on programming for the layman is "Alice in Wonderland"; but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.
