That's why I can't understand why we haven't revisited it.
That same NPR article I quoted suggested that while we could have/should have been developing technology to get us to the moon and beyond, we were more interested in other technologies and electronics that absorbed the knowledge we could have used to get back on the moon.
Hmmm... so Game Boy vs. another moon landing. Is that what it comes down to?
