"Once upon a time, we soared into the solar system for a few years, then we hurried back. Why? What happened? What was Apollo really about?" - Carl Sagan.
I researched this question. Funding, politics and technological difficulties were the answers I found.
I am curious, are there any other reasons why the U.S. or any other nation or nations that are capable have not returned?
And will it not be easier for these countries to work together.
