The fun thing is that the launcher cost is often one of the least expensive part of a big science mission.
Wait, the grid fins cost more than the engine?
That makes no sense to me.
For one thing, everything got to be made exactly right often unique in its design. Like the screws aren’t iron and they have to be inspected from start to finish, they even go so far as to x-ray them one at a time for air pockets.
My ex was a rocket scientist for a company im not going to disclose . Anyway the one thing i learned from her is that most of the parts have to be insanely precise and often times they don’t get them right on the first try. Not to mention the metric fuckton of engineering that goes into every spacecraft part.
I’ve never thought “why is going to space so expensive”. Like I’m just a humble ape trying to do my best, the thought of leaving this space rock seems like it should be quite expensive
