    What do you expect for $33 million? If you want to get there in 3 days,
    you have to pay extra.

    Same if you want to check a suitcase.

    However, it looks like there is a false economy here:

    Now they've lost contact with the craft.

    Anything faster requires a significant burn at the end. This
    trajectory was chosen because it does not, so a small, inexpensive
    cubesat system can be utilized, where essentially all of the payload
    is functional for the planned testing. The only fuel it needs to carry
    is for station keeping (which is what the experiment is all about).

    We don't need cheaper missions, it just encourages more space crap
    out there.

    Stupid view. It's a mission intended to test an exotic orbit that will
    be used for a much bigger mission in the future. An experiment. And
    like every mission, it should be as inexpensive as possible.
