The japanese proved that you can computerized the launch checks. They proved you can launch a satellite on a solid rocket booster.
They proved they can create a business that can be profitable. I've not check if they are commercial or gov't
vehicle 6 x 80= 480mil
satellite 6 x 100= 600mil
ground support (make it min crew on min wage n interns ... ) 120mil for 50 years
crew of project managers to make sure project does not go over budget by the greedy contractor management
1.2 billion sounds feasible no frills expense ... hey if it costed 2-3 billion ... the world could contribute to the project
the universities can work on all the data collected ... more interns ... their business gets paid for dedicated equipment
perhaps if ingenuity is done ... there is a lot to learn on how to make things better
I think nasa n contractors has too many fat cats digging into the money bowl
