Why didn't the astronauts land on the moon?

Answer 1

The Apollo missions came to a premature end because the government was no longer keen to fund the costly missions. There was a considerable waning of public interest as early as Apollo 12 onward ( the second mission to land on the moon.) While people rallied behind the astronauts during the Apollo 13 'failure', it did nothing to enthuse public interest in subsequent missions and may have had the opposite effect. In addition, the main objectives with a political advantage had already been made and America had asserted its dominance, after a late start, in the space race over the USSR.

More recently, there are renewed plans for a return to the moon. Technology has advanced considerably since the last mission, and there is still much interest amongst the scientific community for additional investigation of the moon.

Answer 2

the reason that we havent been on the moon lately is that of course the space is always expanding as it expands it moves farther apart now is 2009 think how many years ago they landed on the moon about 38 years now so this is one major reason

Answer 3

If you are asking this as a riddle, then maybe it was because there was no atmosphere. But really, they did go to the moon, and reports to the contrary seem to be a hoax.

Answer 4

Because about half way to the moon, one of the oxygen tanks exploded during a chryo-stir. It caused the spacecraft to lose power and breathing air and it almost killed the 3 astronauts.

Answer 5

Man has not landed on the moon after Apollo 17, they then concentrated on the Space shuttle mission.

Answer 6

They did; however, some conspiracy theorists believe this was nothing but a hoax.
