How much does it cost
to leave Earth?
Traveling to outer space isn’t as simple as booking a flight, although there are
several businesses working with that goal in mind.
As the burgeoning space industry continues to grow, spaceflight generally
remains a multimillion-dollar proposition. But how much does it cost, exactly? It
depends on where you’re going, or what you’re bringing.
NASA has identified the cost of sending astronauts to the International Space
Station aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket at $81 million per seat. Before the Space
Shuttle program retired, NASA said it cost an average of $450 million each
mission to launch the spacecraft.
