Apollo was about 70 billion In Today's Dollars.

A trillion is a ridiculous number. Shuttle costs are not representative of what a return to the Moon would cost. If they are going to bloat the program to one trillion it is a huge pork project.

    - I mean a trillion dollars for a manned expedition ot MARS, not the MOON. We should be able to mount another manned Moon landing program for about the same as Apollo cost (in adjusted dollars). (n/t) - David F Mayer - 1/11/2004 6:03:59 AM
