don't you think it'd be much cheaper just to make your own?
there is plenty of footage online of people building their own rockets and sending them up, unfortunately it seems no one has tried sending a satellite yet
the difference is sending something to space is not hard
sending something to orbit is a whole different can of worms, you need to go up AND sideways at incredible speeds
for reference, to get into an orbit at the height of the ISS (400km up) you need to be going 4.76 miles per
second sideways. This means you need a huge rocket and that makes it really complicated.
this is the reason only a select few countries have ever reached orbit
