Well maybe that was the big difference after all. I'm not saying the moon landing didn't happen, only that it's weird we could do it back then - when you'd think we would've come farther and closer to doing it again by now.
I certainly want to see us not just return to the moon but go farther and farther.

We wasted 30 years puttering around low Earth orbit with the space shuttle without making any real progress at all, meanwhile all the old Apollo engineers have retired or passed away, and the infrastructure to build everything doesn't exist anymore. So we basically have to almost start from scratch.

Sad but true. I only hope it happens because, I want my moon mansion and moon maidens.
