I agree. But that said, it's good to give people estimate of what the costs for a moon mission are compared to other things we do on earth. In that sense, this comparison is useful, because "half the cost of avengers movie" is less abstract than "$ XYZ,000,000" for most people.

Do people really have a better grasp on how much a movie costs to be made ? I wouldn't know what the difference is between a 1 million, a 10 million and a 100 million movie, or to even give a single example for each of those categories
