Wouldn't it be more accurate to say the plans for a military satellite cost a few billion?
I would assume stamping out a new copy when you have the plans costs just a few tens of millions.
I mean, if you wanted one Airbus A380, it would cost you 15 billion dollars. But once you have the plans, you can stamp out additional copies for 100 million or so.
