Spaceship Cost By Haley from JCD STEM

When building next generation spaceships cost is a big problem. The best way to reduce cost is to reduce the weight of the spacecraft. This is because lighter spaceships can have smaller engines and require less fuel. This saves more weight or in other words this saves more money. It is difficult for NASA to reduce weight because while reducing weight they have to increase safety, and the ship's ability to work. That’s hard to do since It’s not like they can leave out parts needed to build space crafts. All the parts used to make space crafts have a purpose and are required for the spacecraft to even have a chance of working. To help reduce weight scientists are working on new technology that can increase the spaceships reliability while cutting back the weight. So cost of spaceships is a big concern when building the spaceships, but they are finding ways to reduce the cost.
