E) is wordy (a lot of money kills the whole phrase) and the gerund usage is illogical when “they require” would just suffice.

Would be could refer to the past if it’s a conditional phrase that references the past. (It could also reference future in the past). But I also think it could be a conditional future if the main clause is already improbable -> (space excursions are improbable).
