Fair question....ok, you tell me why we have never gone back. One logical, well thought out example. One that doesn't include: money, 'been there, done that', or 'I don't know'

Didn't we (US) "land" there a total of 6 times? I believe the Ruskies landed a few unmanned probes there too. But really, after 6 times, what is there to find/do there? You want to disqualify the reasons you mention above, but those are probably the correct reasons - What is there that is useful to us? If there is nothing deemed useful, how could it be cost effective? And though anything is possible and I guess it could all be a big hoax, I would think with modern tech and all the conspriracy theorists out there on this one, they could have debunked the tapes by now.
