>>2903440>The point is to go study the moon more? Or was 6 trips in the 60s and 70s enoughI don't know how much more there is to learn about the moon. They brought back samples, dicked around with rovers and golf clubs etc. and to an extent the composition of the moon can be surveyed from orbit
Moon missions aren't cheap
