How much does it cost to launch a Canadian space shuttle?
Canada does not have a space shuttle, making the question moot.
How much does it cost to launch the space shuttle?
It costs approximately $450 million dollars to launch a space shuttle.See the related links for more information.
How much does it cost to take a gallon of water into space?
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.
What is theAverage cost of launching a space shuttle?
The average cost of a space shuttle launch is approx $450 million. That is if we limit our costs to the resources used up by each launch and we ignore the investment costs. If we want to include investment costs then, with the entire space shuttle programme, costing somewhere in the region of $150 billion and there being something like 125 full launches we get an average cost of approx $1.2 billion, you would be pretty safe to say that each launch has cost the USA somewhere between $1 billion and $1.5 billion.
How much does it cost to send someone into space?
It cost an average of around 450 Million Dollars to launch a Space Shuttle. Also, the Space Shuttle itself can cost 1.7 Billion Dollars.

How much helium would it take to lift the space shuttle into space?
It won't - at some time the balloon would burst or become the same density as the atmosphere, so stop rising. The above answer is correct. At about 110,000 feet or ~ 21+ miles (when the shuttle was well into the stratosphere) the balloon will burst. However to get the space shuttle into the stratosphere it would take 2,029,203,000 liters of helium and would cost approximately $ 146,102,616. Assumptions: Space shuttle weighs: 2,029,203 KG 1 Liter of helium can lift ~ 1 gram. Helium costs approximately 7.2 cents per gram. According to the NASA website it costs $450,000,000 to launch a shuttle. Maybe they should look into using helium to get them the first 20 miles.
How much does each space shuttle launch cost?
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.
