- micromacrofoot 4y agoI don't think we need to split hairs here, the last manned moon mission was 50 years ago. A manned mission haven't been back a single time since.
- wongarsu 4y agoBut we are planning on going back to the Moon before we send humans to Mars. We haven't neglected the Moon for Mars, we just haven't done any human spaceflight beyond low earth orbit for the past 50 years.
- renewiltord 4y agoWe'll be back there in three years.

- wongarsu 4y agoI'd call that more of a design review than a cancelation. Obama tried to cancel the Constellation program, but because it provides a lot of jobs it was un-canceled and resurrected as the Artemis program. At that opportunity some changes were made: the Orion capsule got carried over, but the Ares V was downscaled to the SLS, but uses the same basic design; the lunar gateway was added and the landers were turned into a contract more like Commercial Resupply. But at it's core it's still the same "let's get to the moon on spare shuttle parts" concept, with many contracts simply carried over.
