The sixth and final moon landing took place in the year 1972 and was completed by the Apollo 17. The lack of additional landings is due to the lack of funding and need for research of the moon.

When does NASA hope the next manned moon mission will occur?

Ther is no set date for a a return to the moon yet, but NASA is now working on a new space program called "Constelation", which will work on establishing and maintaining a permanet moon base.They need to build a whole new set of space vehicles for this project, since the Space Shuttles are not capable of landing on the moon.Another answer:The original plan was another manned moon mission by 2020, but recent (September 2009) news articles puts that severely in doubt.See the two Related Links shown below (one titled "Nasa's manned Moon mission too expensive" and the other titled "Mars and Moon Are Out of NASA's Reach for Now, Review Panel Says").


What was the cost of Apollo 17?

The cost of a single mission is hard to calculate since so much had to occur before that mission could be performed. You could figure the cost of the fuel, the building of the actual flight equipment, and the salaries of everybody involved, but that won't figure in the cost needed for all the steps that had to occur before that final mission. The final cost of the entire program, as reported by NASA in 1973, was US$20.4 billion. If you divide that by the total number of successful moon landings (6), you get an average cost of US$3.4 billion per mission, or US$14.8 billion adjusted for inflation. That's not a very accurate number, but it gives some estimate of the cost.


When did the apollo13 incident occur?

Apollo 13 left for its mission on April 13, 1970. There was an explosion early on in the mission that crippled its service. After 90 hours in space, Apollo 13 was returned to Earth with all 3 astronauts unharmed, on April 17, 1970. This amazing rescue mission was considered a miracle by many, and what Gene Kranz, NASA's Flight Director, called their "finest hour." He is also known to have said "Failure is not an Option."
