The Apollo missions had nothing to do with studying the moon, they were a cold war exercise to demonstrate who could throw the largest hydrogen bomb the farthest distance the most accurately without actually having to throw one. Only the final mission had a real trained geologist that had an idea what to look for.
The small amount of lunar geology work done on the few Apollo missions that landed raised far more questions than it answered.
What else can I help you with?
What year did the Apollo program end?
It ended in December 1972 after Apollo 17.
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 do scientists continue to study the moon long after the Apollo program ended?
The Apollo missions helped us learn a good deal about the moon, but not all that there is to know. For one thing, they only explored small portions of the moon's surface. Additionally, we now have technology that we did not have during the Apollo missions which we can use to study the moon.
Why scientist continue to study the Moon long after the Apollo program ended and and list some of the types of the data that have been collected?

Why do scientist continue to study the moon long after the Apollo program ended and list some of the types of data that have been collected?
One type of data currently collected as a direct result of the Apollo Program is the Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment. The ongoing Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment measures the distance between the Earth and the Moon using laser ranging. Lasers on Earth are aimed at retroreflectors planted on the Moon during the Apollo program (11, 14, and 15), and the time for the reflected light to return is determined.

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.
Will there be an Apollo 18?
As soon as NASA landed on the moon back in 1969, the general public started getting less and less interested in space exploration. The logic behind the thinking was that they have beaten the Russians to the moon, why continue to invest money into the program? Not long after the first moon landing of Apollo 11, congress started cutting at NASAs budget and cancelled Apollo 18-to 21. This is just a comment but they acually sent Apollo 18 to the moon and it never returned!
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.
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.
