Apollo 13 budget: ~ $2.8B in 2023 usd
Boeing 737 MAX total program budget (excluding older 737 models): > $180B
Why are you comparing the budget of one single spacecraft with an entire production run of a model of airplane? That’s not a reasonable comparison.
Because Boeing should have economy of scale benefits by selling $180B worth of aircraft, while Apollo 13 was a bespoke, single-use, cutting-edge spacecraft on a much smaller budget.
Wasn’t it exactly the same as most of the other apollo craft?

What’s the “No!” Button do?
I believe it was a stage separation, so the No! was to keep them from accidently pressing it early.
Hmmm… I wonder if this technique would help me in KSP if I put a big “NO!” over the spacebar 🤔
Definitely worth a shot. How many passengers on your vessel? If it’s <346 then you’re beating average performance.
Ed: Damn I had no idea it was this bad
