Was Saturn V affordable?

Because maybe the question isn’t whether it’s affordable but whether we are budgeting enough money.

Maybe if we gave a little less to SpaceX, NASA could afford to do more.

That would destroy US space capabilities. Just because Elon is a racist dipshit doesn’t mean we should stop building the best rockets in the world.

Honestly if we have less money to Boeing and more to spacex, NASA would be way better off.
