The cost of a Saturn V including launch around 185 million dollars in 1969.
how much fuel is needed to get to the moon in a rocket
It depends on the size, weight and shape of the rocket, but the amount of fuel used in NASA rockets is about 1000 tons of fuel per launch. The combined thrusting force required is around 25,000,000 N.
No nation on earth has ever built a rocket launch vehicle with the energy and cargo space that would have been needed to put that much payload in orbit.
depends of what size motor you want to launch

The moon missions served a dual purpose. They really were about the science of the endeavor, to understand the origins of the moon, the geologic make up of the moon, to discover if there was tectonic activity, etc. There was also a secondary purpose, which was to prove to our Cold War enemies that we had the power and strength, technologically, to send men to the moon. The theory being that if we could launch a rocket to the moon, we could launch nuclear missiles to Russia. So it was a "who's the best" contest as much as it was a "let's do science!" mission.
Not much really. The rocket took flight as expected. The big thing was that it was the first successful launch of an object into orbit.
27 tonnes
How much energy is in one gallon of gas, compare this to quantity of energy in one gallon of rocket fuel, voila, your answer!!!
