Because there isn't much to do there

But you can bet that if Russia or China went up there and kicked over our flag we'd have people on the moon within a week

You know what, if there was oil on the moon the USA probably would be going crazy up there, sadly

i was thinking about this very topic yesterday

concluded it was because the moon race was really just cope for being beaten to space by sputnik in 1957

now able to claim its own victory, america went back to business as usual on earth

I'm pretty sure it was just too dangerous or expensive to keep going there. We went to the moon more than once, like six times with astronauts.

We went to the moon 6 or 7 times with manned missions and another 20+ unmanned. They literally did everything they could think of on the moon.

The CIA wanted the NASA to focus on spy satellites, not science. So they spen the next few decades messing around with expensive, clunky space shuttles that were designed according to the CIA's specifications.

This. There really isn't anything to be learned or gained from going to the moon anymore. There are other more exploratory things going on like probes and improving telescopes etc.

Then by that logic, real men are pixies.

There's other moons that may be more of interest further out in space. Ours kind of already showed its purpose and what it had (or lack of).

But they put it back together. Then Piccolo blew it up again because he was scared of the evil monkey men coming out at night.

Unfortunately this doesn't stop Vegeta from creating a Power ball to simulate the moon and become a giant monkey man anyway.

Setting up a base on the moon would have helped get closer to the idea of Mars.

No point, too costly, already showed up the Russians, and they brought back more than enough rocks to placate the scientists for years to come.
