What would be an ideal viewer to open these huge satellite images? I'm assuming everyone that comes with Windows will just hang

SkyFi Earth Observation Specialist here - the program most suited for viewing imagery like this, is specialised geospatial information system (GIS) software. There is a quite nice open source software called QGIS. However, beware - it is not the most user friendly experience, and we are working on creating a video tutorial, to help first time users visualise the data and start doing analysis.
Windows photo viewer should be fine so long as you have enough RAM.
