We can understand the answer better if we change the question slightly.
Instead of "man", let's ask: Why can't you and I go to the moon today ?
-- You and I don't have enough money to buy the parts and hire people
to build the spacecraft.
-- Very few corporations have enough money to do it, and those that have
the money, have no good reason to spend it on sending us to the moon.
-- The government could probably come up with the money. But the government
has been there and done that, and there's no good political, cultural, or PR reason
to bother with it.
-- The USSR has collapsed, and its ballistic missile program is no longer any threat
to the USA. We no longer need to prove that ours is bigger than theirs.
-- NASA failed miserably at informing the public of all the benefits of the space
program that are now taken for granted as part of normal, everyday life.
-- There is no widespread popular support for a large, expensive space program.
The majority of Americans alive today were never alive during a time when humans
had not yet been to the moon. Now it's history, like the Civil War and the Great
Depression are. "Moon landing" is not a dream today, it's a ho-hum big deal.
-- The general public is not comprised of "rocket scientists". What I mean by that is:
You constantly hear: "Why spend all that money on space, when it's so badly needed
here on earth ?"
As if part of every launch is a large capsule loaded with $100 bills that are shot
into space, and either never return, or else are incinerated upon re-entry.
As if the money spent on the space program is not paid to the vendors, the
contractors, the suppliers, the secretaries, the engineers, the technicians,
the drivers, and the janitors, who design, build, and operate the hardware,
and maintain the life of the companies and the launch complexes.
That's why you and I can't go to the moon today.
