Today, it costs $10,000 to put a pound of payload in Earth orbit. NASAâs goal is to reduce the cost of getting to space to hundreds of dollars per pound within 25 years and tens of dollars per pound within 40 years.he Fastrac engine is a 60,000-pound-thrust engine that will be used for the first powered flight of NASAâs X-34 technology demonstrator. Fastrac is less expensive than similar engines because of an innovative design approach that uses commercial, off-the-shelf parts and fewer of them.
The average life span in 1870 for a female was 25 and  for a male was 18. This is much lower coâ¦mpared to 1980 when the  average for women was 76 and for men 67. The average ages of death  for the last decade 2000-2010 was 78 for both sexes.
The most common age in America is now 22, according to the New York Times. Just as recently as 2010, the most common age was 50. Now, the tides have changed. In second and third place are 21 and 23-year-olds, with 53-year-olds in fourth place. For those that question the logic of growth, it's partly due to immigration, the report said. One might think that the size of any age cohort could only decline as it ages. Some people now 19 will die within the next year, and no new 20-year-olds will be born. But because of immigration, the Census Bureau says, most age groups up to about 40 years old are getting larger every year. As a result, the groups in their 20s are growing, while those of baby boom age are declining in size..
