why did people stop going to the moon?

Question

we're doing a debate on so yeah and we need some help/ the question explainas it all

Answer 1

There are 2 main factors. 1 is of course the cost, since the Saturn V costsseveral hundred million(a few billion now) per lauch, which could certainly do a lot for people.

Secondly, it was the Apollo 13 incident. Everyone knows that the story of that mission and because of the possibility of deaths in this "exercise in cosmic redundancy (quoted from Jim Lovell's Biography)", the public got angry and the moon missions ended at Apollo 17, which had already been paid for or else they'd end straight at 13.

Answer 2

Because they have never been there, it was just a hoax.

Why does the American flag appear to be blowing in a breeze?

Why did the blueprints and plans for the Lunar Module and Moon Buggy get destroyed if this was one of History's greatest accomplishments?

The Apollo 11 TV pictures were lousy, yet the broadcast quality magically became fine on the five subsequent missions.

How did the fiberglass whip antenna on the Gemini 6A capsule survive the tremendous heat of atmospheric re-entry?

Instead of being able to jump at least ten feet high in "one sixth" gravity, the highest jump was about nineteen inches.

If the Rover buggy had actually been moving in one-sixth gravity, then it would have required a twenty foot width in order not to have flipped over on nearly every turn. The Rover had the same width as ordinary small cars.

In the year 2005 NASA does not have the technology to land any man, or woman on the Moon, and return them safely to Earth.

Answer 3

Basically the cost. By the 1970's we had been there 6 times, had beat the Russians there and the public interest turned more toward ending the war, ecology and social issues. People and congress got tired of spending billions of dollars on the program.

Answer 4

Been there, done that, it's on to mars now kiddo'.

Answer 5

As there are no hotels available to stay there........
