This article is a bunch of crap. Quite frankly, this country can't afford to go back to the moon even if the politicians suddenly decided that they wanted to revive manned space flight.

And anyway, NASA has forgotten how to build moon rockets, so its all academic.

They aren't building moon rockets, but it is an urban myth that they don't have the records or intellectual resources to duplicate the Saturn 5.

NASA has had fifty years to come up with a launch system that did not rely on 1,000 year old Chinese technology. They have failed, defund them and send them home.
