This statistic shows the estimated cost of each individual Apollo mission, from Apollo 7 in 1968 to the final mission, Apollo 17, in 1970. Apollo 7 received less than fifty percent of all other missions, receiving just 145 million dollars compared to all others which received between 300 and 450 million dollars. Apollo 11, the first mission to successfully land man on the moon, cost approximately 355 million dollars, and the final mission, Apollo 17, cost approximately 450 million dollars. After the Apollo 13 incident, the amount of money invested in each mission jumped from 375 million for Apollo 13, to 400 and 445 million for Apollo 14 and 15; this was because of the increased investment in safety procedures and mechanisms to prevent further accidents from taking place.
