    $10-$20 is certainly for fedex :) The price range is more in the 4.000$ to 13.000$ per Kg for sending stuff at LEO. It has been said that spaceX could break the 1.000$/Kg barrier.

    Why limit it to an educational facility? These guys have a plan to make a functional spacecraft out of the basic design, with technology that's available today, albeit never used on this scale before. It's quite the interesting read, and I believe it's been mentioned on /. before.

    Once the Enterprise is built, though, we can just fly to the stars. Well, once someone invents the warp drive.

    The mirrors are the difficult part. Hubble was damaged at birth due to defective mirror production, the corrective lens helped but any thickening of a lens will reduce the light that gets through to some extent. The Newtonian reflector didn't use a front lens at all - which would be great in space where you've not got to worry about atmosphere and corrosion (although micrometeorites are a pain).
