Apollo-era Saturn V ($46,000 per kilogram) or even the space shuttle ($60,000 per kilogram)

The reusable Space Shuttle cost more than the Saturn V????? How much would it have cost if it wasn't reusable?

Boy did NASA sell a bill of goods when they retired the Saturn V. I get that the Shuttle could carry more and bigger objects but still.

I remember a Reader’s Digest article from the 70s about that.
