We were able to land on moon in 1969. How come are we not able to do it again 50 years later with all the technological progress?

- sgillen 7y agoIt’s really about the willpower and desire to have it happen (by which I really mean budget...) .We have the technology to go but it doesn’t make any sense to devote the resources it takes to make it happen. Yes it would take years to put together a manned moon mission again, but I feel confident that if for some reason the US absolutely needed to it could put men on the moon by 2024. Certainly our knowledge of how to launch Saturn Vs has atrophied. But we do still routinely launch things into space. We put lots of robots on Mars.
