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
The technology is different, the focus of the mission is different (establishing a long term presence near / on the moon instead of visiting it for a few days), and we need to get people trained for that sort of a mission again. NASA also shifted focus to other types of space exploration, so they need to re-acquire or develop the equipment needed to reach the moon.
