Estimated record production cost, Superman Returns, $260 million. Mars Pathfinder launch and operation, estimated: $265 million.
Pretty good. Different generations and dollars, but pretty good.
MER missions, 2 rovers, estimated $820 million. Cheaper by the pair. $410 million per. About a movie-and-a-half.
