The giant rocket NASA is building to carry astronauts to Mars and other destinations in deep space may cost $500 million per launch when it's flying regularly, space agency officials said Tuesday (Sept.he shuttle program cost about $209 billion (in 2010 dollars) over its lifetime and made a total of 135 flights, yielding an average cost per launch of more than $1.5 billion. Two or three flights per year. In its initial incarnation, the SLS will be capable of lifting 70 metric tons of payload.
You can reasonably assume rocket fuel is at least 5 to 10 times more expensive than that, or $2500 to $5000 per ton. So letâs start the planning. Step 1: Since weâve assumed that our Mars spacecraft is already in LEO, we need to get it into a high Earth orbit.ompare this with a one-way trip that only required 7 tons/ton of payload. The bottom line of all these calculations is that you can get about eight times as much stuff to Mars for the same amount of fuel if you send it one-way instead of trying to bring it back!
