Typical responses consist of "they're hiding something" but to be honest I don't think your numbers are correct in a sense. I'm sure we've been back, just not for a mission. The Apollo missions were all engineered to bring something back or something of the sort. I'm sure small research missions have gone up.

I'm sure they just lost the HYPE because Ronald Reagan just wanted to keep the Vietnam War off the American peoples mind.

There is no point in spending that kind of money on going somewhere humans have already been.
That is why we are investing the money into the mars missions.

I'm sorry but that is a very over ambitious figure... At the minute it costs around $100,000 to send about 500 pounds of materials into space, it would only cost around $3 billion to actually go to the moon...

We went once, accomplished the goal, and don't really need to again

Possibly they dont like cheese? jk.
I think they saw some things up there and they dont want to risk sending anyone else up.

I don't think that's true at all. NASA's annual budget hovers around 17 billion.

I'd imagine everything we need to know about the moon, we know. Therefore there is no reason to spend money to travel there.

You proved my point for me as to why we don't go back to the moon, lol.

No because it costs nowhere near that much to go to the moon lol, we don't go back because nasa is shut down and there's not point anymore

We've explored it already, now we have more places to explore!
