causing the cost of a mission to rise. In addition to this, humans require food and water to survive. This is why projects such as the International Space Station are such an expense. Humans must routinely be brought back and forth from the station, costing hundreds of millions per flight. It cost the United States nearly $1.2b to send a resupply mission to the International Space Station on the Space Shuttle (Hsu, Jeremy. 2011). In contrast, it costs around $13.5m to send a satellite bearing craft into
