You're probably being downvoted because nobody is drawing any comparisons to the Apollo missions, except yourself. You're defending a point nobody else is making.
The only cost comparison to other space missions I've seen is a one liner from the article which compares it to a current day Falcon launch. Which is a reasonable comparison and data point.
