If it costs $10,000 a pound to get payloads to the Moon and it costs a billion $ to get 4 humans there or $250 million for each human, do they need to produce 100 lbs. of parts in 250 work days per year? 250*100*$10,000 = $250 million If they can’t do this much work why not just send up 100,000 lbs of parts??
