My thinking is that people who have $1M, or $10M to donate are usually
looking to give to a cause that they believe in, a cause which "makes a
difference". Examples may include hunger, poverty, refugees, saving an
endangered species, or perhaps climate. Somehow building an expensive
satellite for hobbyists does not rise to this threshold even if we promise
to teach school children about space.

Amateur radio needs to aim high to compete with the causes that "make a
difference".
