Why does it seem so challenging now to send a manned crew to the moon, when we were able to accomplish this over 50 years ago?
In: Economics
AFAIK, it’s a relatively low cost to benefit ratio.
In other words, it would cost A LOT of time & money to make it happen, with not a lot of benefit.
That being said, there are plans to use the moon as a ‘base’ for further exploration (to Mars for example). So if/when it comes time for that, there will be much larger benefits to having people on the moon, so it will be likelier to happen.
