So I looked at the cost to build the Mars rover which I assume is pretty difficult as well. The Mars Rover was a robotic vehicle that was sent to the surface of Mars. It cost 804 million to design, build, launch, and operate.

So in 12 days BP makes enough money to fund a rocketship to Mars..lol. But yet they can't seem to spend any money on a fail-safe device that doesn't fail.. But maybe space travel to Mars is much easier than drilling for oil.
