Been there, done that. Why go back? To show we can still do what we did 50 years ago? Not so inspiring.

Returning to the moon would be the first leg of a mission to Mars. It would not be doing "what we did 50 years ago". The science(s) and technologies we used in the 1960's are either obsolete or they have advanced in ways that most of us are unaware of. When it does happen, those of us who do remember Mercury, Gemini and Apollo won't be thinking that we're seeing it all over again because it would absolutely not be doing what we did 50 years ago.
