I still kind of cannot get over the fact that almost 45 years have passed since the last human walked on the Moon :(


Low return-on-investment - they did all the science they wanted back then. We could do it again (and multiple countries are considering it), but, why? The moon landings were part science (mission achieved), part reputation (done).


Actually the point has been made that we have actually lost a lot of the knowledge and expertise that existed back then, and that it would take considerable time and money to accumulate that knowledge together to do it again.
