to Benson, 18 Oct. 1974. The authors found several different costs
cited for the rover. The $12.9 million price is Time's
figure and reflects the total project cost of $38 + million divided
by three flight vehicle rovers. The cost per vehicle drops if the
training rover is included, or if the $13 million R&D costs are
excluded. Goldsmith interview.
