What this node means
The cost stack separates Earth launch, cislunar transfer, landing, crew support, risk, and operations instead of collapsing them into one ticket-like number.[1,2]
Why it matters
In the CosmosExplore model, lunar access cost stack is kept as a separate node so cost, logistics, and risk assumptions stay inspectable.[1,2]
Guardrails
- This entry is a model context node, not a mission quote, route promise, or safety assessment.[1]
