This thing is kinda expensive.
The ISS costs about $156 bln and is considered as the most expensive artificial object ever built: http://most-expensive.net/most-expensive-objects-ever-built

Yeah, true. And that’s at least in part because THE GOVERNMENT built it! I’m convinced private enterprise could do it in a far more efficient and less expensive manner...

Expensive to be sure, but considering that it was built by government agencies, civilians could probably bring it in for about 40% of that number.
