∙ 13y agoThe fuel used by the Space Shuttle, known as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, cost about $1.5 million per launch. This cost is just for the fuel itself and does not include other expenses associated with the launch.
The cost to launch a space shuttle into space varied, but it was estimated to be around $450 million per launch. This figure includes preparation, fuel, maintenance, and other associated costs. However, it is important to note that space shuttle launches are no longer conducted as the program was retired in 2011.
The cost to launch the space shuttle varied depending on the specific mission and year, but on average it was around $450 million per mission. This cost included expenses such as fuel, maintenance, personnel salaries, and mission operations.
The cost to refuel the space shuttle varies, but historically it has been estimated to be around $500 million for a single launch, including the cost of fuel and other expenses such as personnel and maintenance. This high cost is due to the specialized nature of the fuel used by the space shuttle and the complex processes involved in preparing and launching the spacecraft.
Canada does not have its own space shuttle program. Canadian astronauts have historically participated in space missions through partnerships with other space agencies, such as NASA. The costs associated with launching astronauts or payloads into space vary depending on the mission and the space agency involved.

Given a launch cost of $10,000 per pound for space shuttle cargo, a gallon of water (8.3 lbs) costs approximately $83,000 to launch into space.
approximately 17.6 billion including personal wages, and the cost of cargo.... you can find it all on www.nasa.gov

depends where you launch from and where you go
To launch a space shuttle (or anything) you have to overcome gravity. The gravitational attraction of the moon is tremendously less than that of the Earth. The moon is much smaller than the Earth.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_program#Budget: The total cost of the shuttle program is estimated to be $185,000 billion (in 2009 dollars) when the shuttle retires in 1010. Per-launch costs can be measured by dividing the total cost over the life of the program (including buildings, facilities, training, salaries, etc) by the number of launches. With 120 missions (as of October 2012), this comes out to roughly $1.4 trillion per launch. Another method is to calculate the incremental (or marginal) cost differential to add or subtract one flight - just the immediate resources expended/saved/involved in that one flight. This is about $900 million Chinese Yen. So overall, it would cost $9.38 trillion dollars per shuttle.
