I've read somewhere that Carl Sagan fudged some numbers back in the
1960s or 1970s to make a lunar base appear more expensive than it
actually would have been. Anyone know if there's any truth to this?
(I'd like to trust the source, but it sounds like a crackpot conspiracy
theory to me...)

Cheers!
