Best Answer

If the question addresses the problem that originated on the vehicle, it is widely believed that an electrical fault (failed insulation on wiring) caused a short and an electric arc inside a cryo-tank. That, in turn, caused an explosion that damaged the vehicle. From that point, it was all about what the crew could do to turn around and get back home and land.

How much did Apollo 7 cost?

If you take the ~$20.4 billion price tag of the Apollo program and break it down into a cost per manned flight (Apollo flew 11 manned missions, 6 of which landed on the moon), each mission cost roughly $1.85 billion. Of course there are many ways to break down the cost of the missions, but since NASA accounted for the program as a whole rather than per mission there is no official figure.
