Launch cost estimates here:

Summary

CubeSat access to space is becoming more affordable. SpaceX charges $275,000 for 50 kg and NanoRacks costs $90,000 per 1 U CubeSat.

I would like to go beyond the white wall. By sea or land.
Not in "orbit", not with companies from the establishment. We already know what their rockets do... why invest on people that are clearly controlled opposition to everything this cause stands for?

This is a fair point. But we do not have the infrastructure to design, create, test and construct our own technologies from scratch. Some concessions must be made. But I do agree that this one may be too large of one. But I don't hear any better ideas...
