Guest obby Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 Who cares ??? The mere fact that our government has influenced private industries (around the World) to step forward and help reach the stars and help advance our knowledge of space travel impressive in my books. I'll tell you one thing, it was less than $10 Million !!!!!!!!! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 Actually development was more than $10 million. But nonetheless, this is an important step. This is the first space mission not funded by the government. So don't sweat it, your tax dollars had nothing to do with this. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 Around 20 mil from what I can see. This mission wasn't really about the money though...it was more of a proof of concept. Most first steps like this don't profit right away. That being said, I'd like to see NASA do this for $20 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
