How mush do you think it would cost to go to Uranus.?

I am doing this for a project. I have to pretend I am colonizing the planet Uranus ( yeah I know what you are thinking hahaha) The part I am working on right now involves the cost of the trip. I am not talking about the future.

    forty bagillion kazillion crugles. Atleast thats what we use on Uranus.

    If you really want to do a school project then you need to do it YOURSELF. Go research moon launch costs. Mars probe costs. The cost to mantain a person in the space station or in the shuttle on long orbit missions. Go do some work instead of hoping for some miracle yahoo answer to do it for you.

    the trip to mars answer of 500 billion.. don't think that was be that much... maybe 100 billion.. only because of the research and cost in making the ship to go there.. but to lunch a ship from here is expensive because of the volume of fuel needed to escape the gravity of earth..

    launching from space would be a fraction of that..

    assuming we actually were going to Uranus we would have such a launching platform in place...

    getting a ship up to speed to mars would be about the same as anywhere else... once speed was established then its all coasting till you get there..cost would be calculated by how fast you wanted to get there...

    meaning more fuel to speed up and more fuel to slow down

    you could in a sense send a ship to Uranus for a fraction of the cost from that future space station.. just hook a line and slingshoot it in the right direction... would take a whole lot longer to get there that way..but the cost would be low

    putting real time cost on this project would be wild guess at best..

    I am sure you could get this cheaper if you take some technology that I mention into account.

    First, you would need something called vacuum dirigibles. Since Uranus is a Gas Giant, you can't land on it, it is gaseous, but with vacuum dirigibles, you can build your city in Uranus atmosphere. The city will be floating in Uranus' atmosphere.

    Second, have big enough vacuum dirigibles, you need neumann (self reproducing) nanite to make them in space. I believe you can get enough raw materials from Uranus' ring. By this way, you would have no need to bring everything from earth. Just plant the nanospore in the ring to make a city-sized vacuum dirigible, and bring it to Uranus.

    Since there is so little energy is available in Uranus orbit, you will need to import energy from the inner part of the Solar System. So you will have to colonize Sun' L1 point and build antimatter farm, and export them to Uranus as source of energy (for example for heating), before you can colonize Uranus.

    But there is better way to do this. There is already a lot of hydrogen in Uranus' atmosphere, which can be used for fusion energy generator. Fusion energy generator, require incredible heat to start it, so you will need some amount of anti-matter to catalyze the reaction.

    Here is where the name of antimatter-catalyzed fusion reactor come from. Instead of getting energy from purely matter-antimatter reaction, you can use the matter-antimatter reaction to catalyze fusion reaction.

    So you just need to send a neumann probe to mine Uranus ring to make vacuum dirigibles, as platform for your city. Several nanograms of antimatter to start your antimatter-catalyzed fusion reactors. Then after every thing is finished, you can send your colonists there.

    Antimatter is very expensive, so you better ask someone else how much a nanogram of antimatter costs.

    I heard a manned trip to Mars would cost $500 billion, so Uranus would probably be more. Definitely not worth it.

    A trip to mars costs a few billions, a trip to Uranus would 1: Be suicide, due to temperatures below Absolute zero (-264 degrees celcius) 2: It would take about 200 years to get there. and 3: It would probably cost over 200 billion dollars to take this suicide mission...

  • depends what kinda techonollogy ur are using

    if retarded nasa tech countless billions

    if antigravity craft of the secret space program

    almost freee, and takes 1 second for the trip

    gald i could help
