Why are you comparing the budget of one single spacecraft with an entire production run of a model of airplane? That's not a reasonable comparison.

Yeah its too fair to boing because they are not sending shit tp fucking space

Modern airplanes are also have crazy complicated systems compared to the Apollo program.

But also the MAX eas supotti be a quick and easy upgrade to the existing 737-800, so clearly theu fucked up along the way

Because Boeing should have economy of scale benefits by selling $180B worth of aircraft, while Apollo 13 was a bespoke, single-use, cutting-edge spacecraft on a much smaller budget.

Wasn't it exactly the same as most of the other apollo craft?
