    Yes, it is probably expensive, but a satellite is probably even more expensive, and not just by a little.

      I don’t think it is one of the satellites cost USD 250k in 2019. it is likely cheaper now.

      There have been Anti Satellite Weapon tests (for example from China) to see if it is feasible. The cost for such an attack would be much much higher than 250k (we are talking multiple millions)

        They do have more equipment on them now, so it’s possible they’ve gone up in cost.

        Hmm you made me think and if they use their reusable rockets tech and maybe some other similar things, it may be cheaper in the end because they save a lot of money in places where others don’t
