Like it’s cool in a “I’d like to take a submarine to visit the titanic” dare devil sense but why was it important?
How did it improve the world?
To be fair, we went back multiple times, and india just put a lunar lander on the south pole. Lots of valuable scientific data about our closest celestial neighbor has been discovered through these missions.
While I see what you mean, systematic scientific research about the moon, carried out over decades by multiple countries, however imperfect, is far different than the hubris of a bourgeois dipshit getting himself crushed at the bottom of the ocean, because he wanted to see a glorified cemetery and thought safety regulations were for liberal pinko cucks.
Fun fact: every crewed mission to the Moon in human history was done during the first presidential term of the Nixon regime.
