Just an honest question, after all the Apollo missions why are we going back to the moon and not Setting our sights on something more ambitious like Mars? If we didn’t actually make it as conspiracy theorists claim, disregard the original question.

1) Lots to do at the moon still. Kinda like visiting Paris for 2 days and then asking, "Why do you want to go to France again?" 2) Moon is 230,000 miles away, Mars is a 150-million-mile trip. That's the difference between a baby taking a first step and running a mile.
