How much does a rocket cost?

A bottle rocket is available for 5¢. The company SpaceX launches rockets with a 1000 pound (453 kg) payload for somewhere between $8 million. A rocket with double the payload would cost you around $9 million. A rocket with 414K pounds (187K kg) of payload would cost around $500M. You should consider looking for refurbished Soviet ICBM, they're probably cheaper. Going to space sure is not cheap.
