This page is a collection of Financial effort estimations. It covers all planning, preperations, material, transport, administration, etc.

Systematics

There are several stages that can be calculated separately:

  • Transportation from Earth to Earth's orbit
  • Transportation from Earth's orbit to Mars' orbit
  • Transportation from Earth's orbit to Mars' surface
  • Transportation from Earth's orbit to Earth's moon
  • Transportation from Earth's moon to Mars' orbit
  • Transportation from Earth's moon to Mars' surface

Cost per kg from Earth to Earth's orbit (unmanned)

European Ariane V: $7000 per kg

Cost per person from Earth to Earth's orbit

Here the mass of the person with an average of 70 kg is only part of it. Additional mass is calculated for the life support systems.
