RE: Our return?

Yes. Why the question?

The Apollo 11 Moon landing in July 1969 was a huge feat of human endeavour, engineering and science. It was a moment that the world had been waiting for. Apollo 11 was followed by six further trips to the Moon, five of which landed successfully. Apollo 17 was the last human landing taking place between 7 and 19 December 1972. It was a 12-day mission and broke many records, the longest space walk, the longest lunar landing and the largest lunar samples brought back to Earth.

In total, 12 men have walked on the lunar surface in total.

ALL AMERICANS !

I recall that day in July quite well. I think it was on a Friday or Saturday. My whole family watched what was broadcast.

There’s a reason why it’s been 51 years (and counting) since the last manned lunar mission — in an era of remarkable technological advances in all aspects of modern civilization.

For all the fanfare those missions generated, history will remember them as little more than national ego trips that provided almost no value in return.

That goofy stunt on the Apollo 14 mission when Alan Shepard brought a golf club and ball and teed off on the moon should have been the official end of the U.S. manned lunar exploration program.
