Does that $4.5 billion sound really small to anyone?

So basically this means that Apple can fund a dozen settlements on Mars, and their yearly profit would likely be able to sustain those dozen settlements with spare parts and supplies?

In 2005 dollars, the Apollo program cost $170 billion. So yeah, $4.5 billion sounds pretty small relatively speaking.
