It sounds like social/political problems as well as funding are indeed problems in the causal chain of going to the moon that are not solved. From what I'm gathering, people consider a problem solved if the engineering problems are solvable. The point that I'm making is that social, political, and financial problems, if impediments, remain unsolved, because in fact one cannot "go to the moon" without solving them. Only considering a problem real if it's in the engineering path is counterproductive to accomplishing the goal.
