Yeah seems like a lot of the programs aims were to build a moon base of sorts and get a person to mars. They obviously haven't met those goals and have now been heavily defunded, enough that it'll be impossible for them to actually follow through. The latest goals are the same and I can't help but be sceptical if they'll ever get back to the moon.

Yup. The "missions" are an excuse for funding. But the funding is insufficient and misallocated to support the stated missions in earnest.

If NASA gets to the moon again, it'll be on a cheap ride they buy from SpaceX.
