The United States did not stop sending people into space after the Apollo program was cancelled. People were sent into space using the then new Space Shuttle program, which was cancelled in 2011. Now Americans are sent to space using commercial spaceflight from companies like SpaceX, VentureStar, and Ad Astra.
What else can I help you with?
What year did the Apollo program end?

When was the last time humans visited the moon in person?
it was 1972 an it was apollo 17 and that ended the apollo program
Who ended the Apollo missions?
The Apollo missions were ended by NASA due to budget constraints and shifting priorities. The final mission was Apollo 17 in 1972. NASA shifted its focus to the development of the Space Shuttle program after the Apollo missions.
When is the next Apollo mission?
There will never be another Apollo mission. The Apollo prgram ended with Apollo 17 in 1972. There were a few additional missions using Apollo equipment that were flown under the Apollo Applications program.
Why Apollo space program ended?
The Apollo space program ended because its primary goal of landing humans on the Moon had been achieved, and there was a shift in focus towards developing new spacecraft for longer missions, like the Space Shuttle program. Additionally, budget constraints and changing priorities led to the cancellation of further Apollo missions after Apollo 17 in 1972.
Why did the U.S quit sending people to the moon after the Apollo program ended?
Lack of interest; also it costs far more to send people to the moon that to just orbit the Earth in ISS or space shuttle.

The American Apollo program ended in what year?
The American Apollo program officially ended in 1972. The final mission, Apollo 17, was launched in December of that year. Although there were plans for additional missions, they were ultimately canceled due to budget constraints and shifting priorities in space exploration. The program successfully landed astronauts on the Moon six times between 1969 and 1972.
Did the Apollo program end in 1972?
The last lunar landing occurred in December, 1972. The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, a non moon mission, where an American Apollo capsule docked with a Russion Soyuz Capsule, took place in 1975.
Why did NASA stop going to the moon?
NASA stopped sending astronauts to the moon after the Apollo program ended in 1972 due to budget constraints and a shift in priorities towards space exploration missions in low Earth orbit and beyond, such as the Space Shuttle program and the International Space Station. Additionally, the scientific and technological objectives set by the Apollo program had been accomplished.
Who was on the Apollo 2 mission?
No one. After the fire of Apollo 1, all missions up to Apollo 6 included were unmanned test flights.
What year did Gemini space program end?
The Gemini space program officially ended in 1966. Gemini was an intermediate space program conducted by NASA between the Mercury and Apollo programs, focusing on testing the capabilities necessary for the Apollo missions to the moon.
Will there be more Apollo missions?
No, there are no plans for more Apollo missions. The Apollo program ended in 1972 after the successful moon landings. NASA's focus has shifted to other space exploration missions, such as the Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and eventually send astronauts to Mars.
