And furthermore, Why was Russia never interested in a moon mission? That's what I wanna know.

Enquiring mind wants to know. They did everything else that USA did except for moon missions.

Can someone shed some light on this moon mystey. For the record I believe that we DID go to the moon and any suggestion otherwise is ridiculous, but at the same time I KNOW deep in my heart that there is something utterly fishy about the whole thing but I can't place it. Any ideas? It was all cloaked in such secrecy and now it's all gone and done and it looks like USA will never return there. We are stuck on earth. In fact no-one wants a moon base. What is going on?

We were supposed to make a moon base so we could get to Mars back in the 80s or 90s! I remember TV programs when I Was little which said as much.
ALSO, can someone out there start a space hotel or something. That in itself will do a lot more for future space tourism than any moon mission from NASA imo.
