Bingo. A waste of time and money this time around. The prestige factor has come and gone, we have nothing to prove anymore. “We were the first on our block to have the toy,” now nothing is gained except NASA jobs.

"The prestige factor has come and gone
The achievement, done six times in about 4 years, was so monumental that the "prestige factor" is indelible. If you weren't old enough to remember or even born yet when Apollo 11 did it the first time, your sense of it is not as immediate and powerful as it is for those who remember it.
