Didn't mean to be negative, perhaps a little sarcastic, sorry. When I see large numbers, I put it in perspective. But I would love a moon rock. Or a tiny pebble. Hell, I'd settle for a spec of dust.

The United States spent $25.8 billion on Project Apollo between 1960 and 1973, or approximately $257 billion when adjusted for inflation to 2020 dollars. Adding Project Gemini and the robotic lunar program, both of which enabled Apollo, the U.S. spent a total of $28 billion ($280 billion adjusted).
Considering we're 30ish billion into Artemis, (1/10 adjusted Apollo) this seems like a bargain.....
