Why do I have the feeling that this thing can be defeated by a 30 cent fuse between a radio antenna and the board electronics?

If your satellite blows a fuse, how are you planning to replace it?

Electronic circuit breaker? Self-healing fuse? Multiple fuses with switched paths? Lots of options.

To be fair, those options do cost a bit more than 30 cents.
