Then they revised the hell out of them, because that's certainly what
they showed the first time they were asked.


No, they did not. The CBO's analysis of NASA's figures show a cost of $63.8
billion through the first lunar landing, which is less than the
corresponding $77.9 billion figure for Apollo (both figures adjusted for
inflation). (source: CBO)

If you have a cite for your figures, I'd love to see it.
