- While a two-decade campaign to prepare a manned mission to Mars would certainly be expensive, it would cost nothing close to the $1 trillion figure that has sometimes been cited, the panel concluded. Instead the mission could be funded out of the current NASA budget, with allowances for inflation, along with contributions from other countries.

document gives some previously estimated costs for a human mission to Mars, cites the costs of earlier human missions such as Apollo and the International Space Station (ISS), and then derives an independent cost estimate using historical data. The cost of life support for the Mars mission is discussed.
Some of the previous estimates of the cost for a human mission to Mars are cited. They are largely consistent.
In general, the best way to estimate costs is by direct analogy with the past costs of similar missions. Most of the estimates given here were made using cost estimation methods that are based on past mission data. NASA’s human relevant human missions are the International Space Station (ISS), space shuttle, and Apollo.
The cost of ISS life support is estimated as a guide to the cost of life support for Mars.
The cost of the Mars life support system could easily be the same or even more than that of the ISS system The ISS life support can provide for more than the three or four US crew on ISS, so it could be easily scaled down to one half the ISS size. On the other hand, a Mars mission will require two life support systems both able to support the full ...
The best and most realistic way to estimate project cost is by using comparisons to earlier similar projects. Professional cost estimating models use parametric cost estimating relationships, which relate cost to measurable cost drivers such as mass, number of systems produced, and technical difficulty. The estimates produced by comparison to pas...

Jan 14, 2014 · A panel of experts think it is possible to send humans on a mission to Mars by the 2030s if NASA is consistently funded at pre-sequestration levels.
Mar 8, 2015 · Transportation costs alone could total over $100 billion before the first Mars mission in 2035. A ballpark cost of the first Mars mission in 2035 would total $230 billion.

Aug 14, 2019 · In a consecutive tweet, Musk said that about 1,000,000 tons of cargo to Mars for a self-sustaining city at $100k/ton will cost around a minimum of $100B. The idea is to fly to Mars about every 26 months when Earth and Mars are favourably aligned, Musk had previously said.
