A nationwide push in the 1960s mobilized 400,000 workers, 20,000 firms, 120 universities, and the government as NASA’s Apollo program expanded from $401 million in 1960 to $5.93 billion in 1966. Despite rapid buildout at Cape Kennedy and Bay St. Louis ground tests, schedules slipped and costs rose, threatening a lunar landing before 1970.
