Ah... The sweet stench of superior arrogance!

I have no opinion on whether it happened or not, but it's interesting to hear the reason why a return has never happened... Because 'we've been there already'! It's very bizarre considering man wants to colonise Mars, up the road, and yet hasn't been been back next door!

Isn't it better to build a station on the moon to see if it can be done before travelling all the way to Mars?

I thought they were looking at going back to the moon in the not too distant future. And they DID return to it.
You doubt the landings?

Moon landing was on Apollo 11.
Apollo missions didn't finish until 17. So a return happened 6 times.

After that, interest and funding collapsed because there was no political reason to go, which is the reason we went in the first place.

There's numerous manned landings happening in the next 10 years

Yeah...it's Musk that thinks he can send people to settle on Mars. NASA know it's bollocks. They will eventually have a moon base.

When did they return? I genuinely don't know as they push Armstrong and crew as THE ones.

As for the 'landings', I see arguments for and against.

Fair enough.

I'm interested in why the other landings weren't as lauded. Case-in-point that an Average Joe doesn't really remember past the first one.

And, wouldn't there be a real reason to go, other than point scoring now?

Haven't you seen Apollo 13?

They were lauded, every one was big news at the time and televised.

Because they have new rivals and because of the plan to use it as a launchpad to get to Mars.

The countries launching missions to the Moon and beyond in 2023

In 2023 several countries will launch missions to the Moon and beyond.

I personally can't see the point, waste of money and resources. But if Musk, Shield and Bezos want to fuck off to Mars forever I'm all for it.

That's not what he was asking. He was asking why they weren't as lauded. But it's obvious.

Because they weren't the first.
