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
In large part it’s because the politics have changed. Fifty years ago we were scared of the communist threat, and constantly in competition with the USSR (communist Russia). Russia was trying to send men to the moon, so we had to do it first.
Nowadays there’s not as much funding or government/public interest in space exploration, so it’s kind of fallen to the wayside.
