Description:
"The original cost-plus-incentive-fee contract to Boeing (with Delco as a major sub-contractor) was for $19 million and called for delivery of the first LRV by 1 April 1971, but cost overruns led to a final cost of $38 million. Four lunar rovers were built, one each for Apollos 15, 16, qnd 17, and one that was used for spare parts after the cancellation of further Apollo missions. " |

#5, Yeah, when you get down to it, they paid $19,000,000 for two lawn chairs, some piano wire, some PVC tubing, and a small satellite dish. Screwing of the century?
I really need to get into government contracting.

No ill will towards our country's space program, just its complete inability to spend wisely. Like the mother-in-law is on a shopping spree with YOUR credit card.
