Oct 18, 2020 at 9:26 comment added John Dvorak If I wanted to launch a 6U block of osmium into low Earth orbit, it would weigh over 130kg still technically be called a cubesat... if the definition of a cubesat didn't cap the mass at 1.33 kg per unit. Now, if you chop it in half, there's launcher in development that might be willing to haul them up, one at a time.

May 15, 2018 at 9:01 comment added uhoh @ErinAnne I'll remove the tag now, thanks for the heads-up! Let me know if the new tags are okay. (or do we need an ultradense-cubesat tag ;-) I happened to see your comment by accident. I don't fully understand how comments work, but I believe that since it isn't below my question, or directly below a comment I've made without an @ sign, nor does it have my username with the @ sign, I didn't receive a notification. Best to put comments about the question below the question, not another user's answer.
May 15, 2018 at 5:50 comment added Erin Anne If this answer is correct, the "cubesat" tag should be removed from the question. 130kg would be a very, very dense cubesat.

May 13, 2018 at 14:56 comment added uhoh Thanks for the speedy answer! I did notice that the interviewer asked slightly leading questions. When you are on the spot like that, with the camera rolling, you have to do your best. I have one or two more questions about items discussed there, I'll post them in another day or two.
