Exploration via political posturing. It was mostly to show that the USA could make it to the moon first, aka another "world" before the russians. The constellation project aims at putting men on the moon again.

I don't really know, but think about this.
1...Maybe they found no use for returning to the moon.
2...If there was some significant discovery, do you think our government will keep the common people informed. Or decide that it's better that we not know.
3...Personally, I think there have been numerous landings that we have no idea about. One day when the world has gone to **** maybe we'll find out.

The cheese was always stale by the time the guys splashed down.
And the U.N. was concerned that a influx of cheap cheese from the moon would ruin the world cheese futures.

It was incredibly expensive and dangerous. We are not ready to exploit the resources on the moon.

Richard Nixon canceled the part of the space program that included moon landings..
On his "space" phone call to the crew that had just been on the moon, he casually said, while praising the crew, that this was the LAST American crew that would be on the moon. and it was over.

The race to the moon was politically driven. Once we got there, there was little of value there for us, because we really weren't technologically ready to be there. So we stopped going once we ran out of rockets. In fact, the last moon rocket was used for another purpose entirely.

I would guess we feel that we have been there, done that and besides there is no one up there that we know of to go to war with or over depending on how you look at it. Besides who is to really say that we have not started a group on the moon.

Been there, done that. What's the point of going back. Nothing of any great value there. Waste of money.
