It depends on what sort of meteor you want. The meteor fragments that
are believed to be of Martian origin sell for something over $200/gram.

Becuase it isn't necessary, unless the radiator and solar pannels are
designed purely for maximum effecience (i.e. if you trade system
efficiency off against ease of construction or cost, less efficient
but simpler, truss-less designs start looking very good), or if
there are plans for substantial future expansion.

As a taxpayer, I am helping to design it. (I won't say I'm helping
build it, since it isn't being built :) Since I think it's going
to be, if it isn't already, a big waste of time and money, anyone
that cares to can 'help those who are designing it' by writing to
your favorite representative and supporting it's cacellation, saving
me and several others vast amounts of hard-earned cash.
