Ever dreamt of building and launching a rocket or wanting to know how much will it cost? Well, dream no more as long as at least a $100 million is available on hand or is just sitting in the bank because United Launch Alliance has built a website. The website can help to estimate the cost to launch a rocket.

The website RocketBuilder.com is just like a one stop shop for launch services where customers can order, build and specify what type of rocket will be built and when to launch it. Also, customers can decide which orbit they want the rocket to go.

This step was taken by United Launch Alliance to educate potential customers of the cost of launching a single rocket. United Launch Alliance wants to be transparent in order to be reliable. Speaking of reliability, Tory Bruno, United Launch Alliance CEO said that they are expecting the rest of the industry to be reliable as well.

So, what else does the Rocket Builder website offers to potential clients?

The Rocket Builder website also offers customers a customizable "service options" which include conducting "expanded mission rehearsals" as well as adding onboard video system to the rocket. Even the option to invite at least 100 investors or customers to watch the launch by purchasing VIP experience is also included in the "service options " according to The Verge.

To start building he rocket, pick first the launch date, the orbit as well as the payload weight. After that, the tools on the website will then adjust the cost which is based on the configuration of the rocket including the insurance to fly the rocket, reports Mashable.

United Launch Alliance's mission is to make space more accessible and so with the launching of the Rocket Builder, they are hoping that somehow it can help them achieve their goal since only few commercial companies wants to launch their crafts with United Launch Alliance every year.

United Launch Alliance was established with the partnership of Lockheed Martin and Boeing and so won't be able to the Rocket Builder website due to their businesses with the government.
