The lack of national unity makes something like the Apollo program impossible today. Every presidential administration I have memory of living through has announced grandious plans with congress eventually pulling the plug on it just after the planning stage. What national motivation is there to retake old ground? Or to go to mars which many believe is practically a biological impossibility? Nasa vets have all seen this time and time again. Morale must be pretty bad. Apollo was canceled because congress did not think it was worth the funds to keep it going. It is not going to be either cheap or easy to go back. Besides we don't even have a working human spaceflight program and have not for years.
