Wins Lowest Cost Award
There's much talk recently about the cost of going into space through other private space companies. Space companies are inefficiently blowing a lot of steam toward the way of individuals wanting to go into space with prices so high that it makes it unaffordable except to the insanely rich or vast governments with wealth to burn.
Mainly their costs are outrageously expensive, beyond the reach of the ordinary person. It's all because their costs for rockets and fuel is astronomical. SPACE1 Industries and Humanoido have taken a different approach. By using free fuel and rockets from tested sound but recycled reused components, the cost per launch is next to nothing. Instead of paying 80 million for one flight, the cost is closer to one dollar.
At this time, the investment of going into space for standard tourism through SPACE1 Industries is primarily the cost of one dollar. Personal equipment supporting the flight, such as the space suit, personal effects, augmentation, etc. may add a very small additional cost.
