$400 of the $800 was transport to GEO. The current cost to GEO is 200
times higher so the transport alone would be $80,000 per kW. Plus
RDTE for one or a small number would be in the tens of billions. You
only get into the interesting range if you are producing upwards of a
GW/day of power sats.

PS, Which web page is this cost figure on? I could not find it.
