The U.S. Air Force Titan 3C program took flight during 1965, adding more pressure to Saturn 1B. The Air Force claimed that each Titan 3C launch would only cost $9 million, compared to $18 million for Saturn 1B

$138 million 2013 USD

[1972 comment on lifting power] 40,000 pounds of a Saturn I-B, with this Saturn showing a cost per flight of some $55 million (309 million 2013 USD)
