As to why we haven't been back recently, it's really expensive to send people to the moon. NASA funding in the late 60s was nearly 5% of the federal budget. After "winning", funding was cut down to roughly 1% of the federal budget by 1973. Today, NASA costs are only .5% of total federal dollars spent.
