Can someone give me some notes on the legality of this?

Perhaps next time read the whole article?

> Finally, can it be flown legally? Most of the trajectory can pass over the oceans, but skipping land completely would take too much of a detour, and likely be incompatible with prevailing winds. Although the political climate may be hostile, it is still legal to fly civil craft over other countries.

Sorry, but that's just ignorance. It's an UAV, it's not registered, has no type certificate. He doesn't even seem to be aware of airspaces.

So no, it's not legal in many ways.

Ha! It’s also going to be funny when he discovers going over India requires parallel diplomatic clearance by his embassy and if he misses the slot, bye bye record. Repeat problem for multiple countries along the route.
