Beer is expensive in the Great White North; I cannot imagine what they would charge in space.

It's great that the technology has gotten to the point that people with the desire can do this for themselves.  I've read about at least six people making these launches.  I just hope that someone doesn't come out with a turnkey kit so any yahoo can do this.  Before you know it, there will be some legislation making this illegal.  Probably under the guise of anti-terrorism.
