Start with “Why should we go back?”
The fact is there’s really not a reason. We’ve been there, done that. The cost to send people to the moon is astronomical (lol) but the value to civilization is minimal at this point.
Honestly, NASA spending more time exploring Mars has been more beneficial… Just wish we found something more up there, but hopefully in time.
I wish we could go to the moon again too, I just don’t see a purpose, and that’s kind of why we did that, and stopped.

You’re kind of missing the point. It costs us about 4 BILLION dollars to send a person to the moon. What do you expect to find on the moon worth that? we know what the moon looks like, if we want imagery, we can send satellites for a fraction of that price, and danger. We have rocks, we have materials from the moon that are still working on.
Do you think there’s a lost city? A secret civilization? A massive moon base the Nazis put there?
It’s a hunk of DEAD rock. And the idea of “lunar mining” and all sorts of sci-fi stuff probably is unfeasible at those prices.
