We spent like $280 billion (in today's dollars) on Apollo.
Seems like the current project is a bargain so far
Just because we got in a dick measuring contest with the Soviets 50 years ago doesn't mean we (the taxpayers) should pour that amount of money into bloated defense contractors today, especially when SpaceX can do it much faster and cheaper. I'm all for space exploration but there is no reason rocket development should not be 100% in the private sector now.

Must be a lot of Huntsville baws in here with these downvotes that don't want to lose the federal money gravy train where you can be $20 billion over budget and years late without consequences. Sorry (not sorry) that SpaceX can make a reusable rocket for pennies on the dollar compared to the military industrial complex that wastes decades and billions on cost plus contracts for a one time use obsolete rocket.
