I we had kept Apollo going I doubt NASA would have had any funds left for anything else. Besides we haven't sorted out growing food or having an eco-system in an isolated environment yet to sustain people. Moon or Mars bases are still a long way away I reckon. Think about what all the shuttle has accomplished. We got Hubble up there for a start. That alone justifies it. We know a lot more than we did 10yrs ago.
