   A recent estimate of the cost of the first human mission to Mars suggests that it could cost “half a trillion dollars.” This estimate is consistent with most past estimates. A similar cost number can easily be derived using mass-cost estimating factors based on the International Space Station (ISS) and other experience.

   Feb 25, 2024 · I imagine it is going to be closer to the $500 billion or more given that the ISS alone cost more around $150 billion. If we assume $500 billion per mission – a figure that would hopefully decrease with multiple missions – then a manned mission would yield a better return on the investment.

   How much does ISS cost?

   • The system plus two sets of ORUs would mass 5.6 MT and its launch cost is 5.6 * 0.061 = 0.34 billion. Operations cost for ISS is 0.0401 $B/MT-year, based on development cost and mission length. For a $1 billion development cost and an anticipated 15 year operational duration, the operations cost would be 1 * 15 * 0.0401 = 0.60 billion.
