It costs more like $250 million to get one into orbit Mike. Also, that bird should be generating over $100 million per year in revenues. If executed right, the revenues could be substantially above that(note Loral Skynet's SNG business). That insurance money is a small price to pay to protect this revenue stream. You need to step back and look at the FAT margins instead of the total cost of insurance. The cost of the insurance then becomes insignificant.
