This has been out for a while now. Either this is a double up "OP didnt search" thread OR the OT is getting slow.
I blame OweOs disappearance if the latter

Oh, come on. The Space Program shifted interests, the nation shifted interests, and funding to NASA in general has been cut (right?).
In the '60s, there was competition with Russia to get to the moon. Capitalism against communism.
Is anyone truly competing to get to Mars?
There's also the spatial distances to consider. The moon is ~240k miles away from earth. Mars is ~140 MILLION miles away.
Edit to add: My distance to Mars is average distance. The distance can be much closer or much farther apart depending on points in each planet's revolution.

Gee i wonder why....
Distance to moon = 238,900 miles
Distance to mars = 33,900,000 miles at it's closest point.
Mars is 142 times further away than the moon.
Or let's try something simpler, go outside tonight and look at the moon. Now look at mars, which one is bigger?
I don't know how some of you are allowed to walk around the streets without a helmet.

It’s not that we can’t. It’s that there is no political will to pay for it. Same reason why the Apollo program crashed and died.
It’s 100% for bragging rights. You can gain the scientific value with rovers and drones.

That's the distance from Mars to the sun.

Check my edit above.
The distance between Earth and Mars is not constant, as it varies depending on time (where they are in their revolutions around the Sun).

Another element from then to now: a sense of objective and urgency.
Things get designed with tighter standards now. Back then it was enough to simply work with reasonable safety set up.
Put it this way: we will spend as long designing the next generation of rockets (no crewed flights after shuttle retirement) as it took America to go from having nothing in aerospace to landing on the moon.

bullshite.
Given the money is no object mentality of the Apollo era we could have easily started the run late 90s and accomplished it ~2010.
Pretty much all NASA briefs on Mars timelines are based on money restrictions. While there are technical hurdles, the leaps are no where near what they were for Apollo.

No, we couldn't. We still can't. We don't have the technology today to make a manned trip to mars.

Like, say, getting there? Keeping a crew alive? Returning from Mars? aka, a successful manned mission is not possible at this point in time, because the technology isn't there yet.

Again, Mars is 34 million miles at it's closest point. It separates out to 250 million miles at it's furthest point. You act as if going to Mars is akin to Virgin making a plan that reaches the stratosphere. We can't physically get there yet.

Exactly. Look at all the evidence presented that shows we did land on the moon....yet a few conspiracy theorists can convince thousands that it didn't happen. People are retards.

Can you explain why we had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to launch rockets into space with our space station, but need nothing of the sort to launch back from the moon off of some rock with the same equipment? I honestly don’t understand that.

Because Science!
Gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s2
Gravity on Moon = 1.6 m/s2

Sadly, this is being taught by some professors in college. Southern has several professors teaching this right now. Spoke to a couple of students from southern recently who argued this point and said two of their professors had proof.
