It is totally untrue that we have not been back due to there being no need. The scientists and specifically geologists waiting for more information from the moon were devastated at the Apollos 18 to 20 being cancelled.
It was money and the times (Vietnam war). The moon shots were incredibly expensive. Just to develop the lander cost about 2 billion dollars back then.
When the Saturn V rocket was mothballed, they have not got a rocket that will take humans beyond earth oribit. To do that, they would have to rebuild the Saturn V or design a new rocket.
Do not believe the people that say there is no need, they do not know what they are talking about and are not much better than those idiots who think it was faked.
We only got a tiny fraction of lunar information from the six Apollo moon landings.
