Since the end of the Apollo program no person has ever left low earth orbit and we are told no further scientific data can be achieved by sending man back to the Moon.

I also find it interesting that any proposed rocket ship designs for going to the moon now seem to be much larger in size, and require significantly more fuel.

That’s because they want to send up more than a small lander.

More mass = more rocket.

The new plans involve taking a lot more stuff to the moon. And missions will be a lot longer.

Apollo was a little cruiser to see what was there. The newer ones are cargo carriers.
