RE: We're going back to the Moon! (or for the first time...)
Why wait so long to go back since they have been their before? our technology should allowed us to achieve this earlier, if they are not currently up their already
Because it costs a lot of money and we don't really benefit from trips to the moon. It's not like there are valuable resources or information that we can gather by successfully landing there. Not to mention, there are risks to human life involved every time that you send a person into space, especially on such a long journey.
More succinctly, it's wasteful to human resources.
Or because we were just way smarter back in the 70s, with better technology.
