Space Missions and their Changing Cost Drivers

In this episode of The Cost of Everything, we’re going where (many) have gone before: on a journey into the financial frontier of space! 💸

Space exploration has transformed over the past few decades. Once the domain of billion-dollar government programs, it’s now opening up to commercial ventures, groundbreaking private companies, and even tourism. But what does it really cost to reach the stars?

🎧 Tune in to learn about:

• The evolving costs of space missions, from Apollo to Mars and beyond
• How companies like SpaceX are changing the economics of space by reducing launch costs 
• The emerging market for space tourism and who’s leading the charge
• The economic impact of satellite constellations and commercial space projects
• The innovative techniques used to estimate costs in complex, cutting-edge projects

We also look at parametric estimating, a crucial tool for early stage estimating of complex projects.

The future of space exploration looks bright—and surprisingly accessible. Whether you’re a space enthusiast, cost analyst, or tech innovator, this episode is for you!

👉 Listen now to uncover the real costs (and benefits!) of reaching the final frontier!
