1970's dollars are not the same as todays. Further down on the Wikipedia page:

> In 2009, NASA held a symposium on project costs which presented an estimate of the Apollo program costs in 2005 dollars as roughly $170 billion.

if we take a moment, and divide 1.5 trillion by 170 billion, we see that we could afford over 8 complete Apollo programs with 1.5 trillion dollars.

Thanks, I stand corrected.

as roughly $170 billion.

So multiply by nine then.
