re: #339 RogueOne

The cost of launching a satellite isn’t germane to the question of hypothetical satellite costs? How do you figure?

The climate progress site contends that by waiting to build/launch these satellites it will end up costing us more money. I’m actually willing to buy that argument but the numbers they use ($2 - $3.5 Billion) are nothing more than a wild guess. The only evidence of their costs has been provided by me and it shows the opposite of their contention.

Okay, if you insist on adding the costs of launching the new satellite, we can do that. New satellites use new technology which is going to cost considerably more money than that thousands saved in the launch of that new satellite.
