  Interestingly that's pretty similar to the cost of the Voyager program (taking the cost from [1] and adjusting for inflation). 1: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/frequently-asked-questions/fact-sheet/ https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/frequently-asked-questions/fact...

    Voyager 1/2 were some of the coolest things human beings have ever done in the entire history of humans as a concern. We should do more stuff like that.
