But it's so much fun yelling to the folks on the tram that it was all done on a sound stage.

But doing a moon shot would be setting the program back. We did it 40 years ago. What would doing it again prove? That we can still do what we did 40 years ago?
If we want to make progress in space exploration, we need to go places we haven't been yet. The moon offers very little to us right now. Our next goal should be setting up a sustainable outpost on Mars. Planting flags and leaving footprints is not going to get us anywhere.
