I heard a number in the 80's
which I feel still holds true, although I have no hard facts that are current.
The cost of housing, feeding, and clothing the world for a year is roughly the same as the spending on the military every two weeks.
I do know that the Iraq war at its height was costing $25 billion a month (including costs like medical for returned vets), at the time adjusted for inflation the entire Apollo program cost $100 billion so for every four months of the Iraq war we could have had an entire moon program, including R&D, training, and 10 moon missions.
