Why hasn't man landed on the moon since?

Answer 1

different opinions on this issue. The US went to the moon as a show of superiority to the Russians. Times were different then and as history shows, the world was turning either toward democracy or communism. The Space race (to the moon) preceeded the nuclear arms race. since the goal was achieved, there was no 'political will' to return. The other simple answer is that it is too expensive to go.

Answer 2

There hasn't been a manned mission to the moon since 1972 due to the high cost, risks involved, shift in focus to other space missions like the International Space Station, and lack of political motivation. However, there are plans in place for future manned missions to the moon with NASA's Artemis program aiming to return humans to the moon by the mid-2020s.
