Between 1970 and 2000 the cost to send thing up into space stayed the same. I cost around $18,500 to send 1 Kilogram of anything into space. Now with SpaceX new Falcon 9 Rocker it cost around $3000 to send one Kilogram in to space. That prices is only getting cheaper as new rocket companies come into play.
As of now ASB will not build and rockets but will be a customer with companies like SpaceX and Rocket lab to move AI robotic Drills and satellites back and forth to space.
