I couldn't imagine having to pay to launch something into space, the cost is astronomical, I guess like astronomy, the sky is the limit?
I'm lucky enough to have known an elderly gentleman in the USA online who assisted a photographer during the Apollo 14 launch at a special NASA staging area. He was himself gifted a set of 5 slides with a letter giving him full rights signed by the photographer (a doctor of some description) My elderly friend (now feared passed) gifted said set of slides to me and I have them safe here. A real gem.

Leo,
Thanks for replying
Space X have the cheapest launch vehicles by orders of magnitude compared to other space companies including NASA, due to re use ability , and they will only get cheaper in time ( including Starship )
You are certainly lucky to have those Apollo 14 slides ( keep them in a safe for prosperity
My Aunt in the US ( passed many years ago ) worked for Rocketdyne as a PA to one of the Managers in the propulsion dept during the Apollo era.
I have a bit of Apollo memorabilia she sent across to my folks in Australia ( bits and pieces mainly photos , stamps etc.. )
Wow what and era in human history
The next era has already started !!! next 10 years will be Apollo on steroids
