That is an apples to oranges comparison.
If you want to get a feel for the premium charged for rad tolerant/hard devices you should compare the devices from the same family tree. The commercial ProASIC3 device is about $200/unit.
When it comes to Xilinx parts, the premium from their commercial to the space is just as obscene as Actel's.

Xilinx 500k gate devices are $22 in unit quantities plus $1 for the external flash memory so that's a 200:1 ratio for space-based versus earth-based hardware.
