    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.

        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.
