For this article, they put their thumb on the scale. It's just nonsense conclusions from bad assumptions.

A 100kW Earth based solar array and a 500kWh grid scale battery that will last ~20 years is already a tiny fraction of the cost of even one Starlink satellite. That's today. Commercial. No assumptions.

It doesn't matter even if it was free to put a satellite in orbit, as it only lasts five years once it's up there.

Their radiator assumptions are also laughable. 13x-28x better than ISS with carbon wizardry entirely on paper. TRL level what exactly?
