Why are you ignoring all of the costs of actually being in orbit here? A normal satellite runs something similar to 1U worth of computer and costs roughly what you quoted in total... | ||

Why are you guys rehashing the exact calculations that were made in the article? The article is all about these calculations, and they give ranges of values for each cost to see the the possible price points for everything in order to make it worthwhile. They take all of the bits you guys are talking about into account in the article. You might disagree with some of the numbers, I guess, but that doesn't seem to be what you guys are talking about. | ||
