The real reason we didn't go back is that Nixon canceled as much of the Apollo program as he could get away with, since it was a Democrats' idea. No bucks, no Buck Rogers. He renamed Cape Kennedy "Cape Canaveral" just to rub it in, and arranged to waste the last moonworthy Apollo capsule on a US/USSR stunt flight called Apollo Soyuz. The later capsules, intended to go only into orbit to take astronauts to Skylab, were of somewhat different design.
Anyone who still thinks we did not go to the Moon should go visit the links below, which explain the things people are misunderstanding. The Russians, and many others, tracked the flights to the Moon, and would dearly have loved to expose any hoax, had there been one.
The most plausible answer would have to be money. It costs upwards in the billions of dollars to plan, prepare, and execute a mission like sending astronauts to the moon. Also since NASA has already achieved the feat of landing on the moon, they probably have no reason to go back. There are no Natural Resources to obtain and there is economical way to sustain life on the moon. Without a way to profit form an excursion like going to the moon, there is no reason to make the trip.
Some people in the past have speculated that NASA really never landed on the moon and that the whole that the whole thing was staged to avoid the embarrassment of losing to the Russians in the great race to the moon during the late 1960's. These critics claim that NASA found it impossible with their current technology to achieve such an amazing milestone. So they lied to save face and make the Russians look inferior. Of course, none of these accusations have been proven true, and most people believe that NASA really did land on the moon.
It seems that the less a person knows about science, the Moon, lunar conditions, Photography, radiation, and rocketry, the less likely they are to believe in Apollo. People who understand those fields know very well that Apollo was real. The links below are very helpful!
What else can I help you with?
Did the NASA space shuttle really land on the moon?
No, the NASA space shuttle did not land on the moon. The space shuttles were designed for low Earth orbit missions and were not capable of making the journey to the moon. The Apollo missions were responsible for landing astronauts on the moon.
When was the last time an astronaut landed on the moon?
Apollo 17 landed on the moon on December 11th, 1972.
When did Julie Payette land on the moon?
Julie Payette is a Canadian astronaut who has not landed on the moon. The moon landings were conducted by NASA astronauts in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
When did NASA land on the moon?
As an agency of the US federal government, NASA itself has never left the Earth's surface. But six pairs of astronauts landed on the moon between 1969 and 1972, on missions that were part of the Apollo program, which was administered by NASA.
How did they get to the moon?
The Apollo missions, carried out by NASA, used powerful rockets to launch spacecraft to the moon. The spacecraft traveled through space for several days before landing on the moon's surface and returned to Earth after completing their mission.
Is the first spacecraft on the moon?
Nope, it returned to NASA

Did neil Armstrong go back into space?
No, and he never returned to space again either. He left NASA soon after the moon landing Apollo 11 mission.
Is it true there is no evidence of the Apollo moon landings outside of NASA files?
This is completely false. There are mountains of evidence, most of them not even in the US. Remember, Russia was keeping very close tabs on the US during the space race and tracked every second of every mission as well as examined the moon rocks returned by NASA and compared it to the rocks returned by one of their own robotic probes. Rock and soil samples returned by NASA crews have been examined by scientists the world over. Documentation of everything from the makers of the spacesuits to the mixing of the rocket fules exist in the records of the hundreds of non-NASA companies that had NASA contracts. NASA is no way the sole source of proof the landings were real.

Where did NASA land on the moon?
in the middle of the moon
Why have NASA never return to the moon?
they say buget cuts and the not enough funding this that, but it could be because there are aliens living under the moons surface. watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Usz9J6Ww1E and also the dark side of the moon.
What moons or planets have the Apollo 13 studied?
The Apollo 13 mission was part of NASA's Apollo program, which was designed to land men on the Earth's moon. Apollo 13 failed, however, due to an explosion in one of their oxygen tanks. The crew survived and returned to Earth, but they never landed on the moon. They did take pictures of the moon, however, so it could be said, in response to your question, that they studied Earth's moon.
What was the name of NASA's moon program?
NASA's first moon program was called Apollo.The new moon program is called Constellation.
