Apples and oranges; we already know what will happen if one were to
build an antenna from a superconductor.

Fire up EZNEC and set material loss to zero; done.

Yeah, anyone with a map could say a great deal about the shape of West Africa
based on ocean travel. My point isn't so much about antennas, as about
exploring the easy availability of cold environments for superconductors in
space. Not having to lug heavy coolers up there might be an offer someone
cannot refuse, and that someone might come back with all kinds of
discoveries, things no models or predictions are going out there to find.
