Today is the 10th anniversary of the launch on the International Space Station.  On November 20, 1998, a Russian Proton rocket launched the Zarya Module into orbit which was the first portion of the space station.

I don't have an exact number, but the total cost at the end is supposed to be $100 billion I think.
