That calculation comes from spending a billion dollars on a satellite, it's obsolete.

Not convinced yet about that. Lots of history with 'better, faster, cheaper' where you can only pick 2 of the 3 options. Also familiar with a lot of proponents of cheap cube sats, but they have yet to demonstrate the capability of the legacy assets, either in performance, robustness, or longevity.

Well, you are somewhat wrong on a couple of your adjectives and soon, completely wrong on all of your adjectives. Technology is finally catching up to the theory which has been around for decades and is gaining traction in many other domains. Technology does an ever-expanding range of functionality better, faster, AND cheaper.
