Why We Ditched The Moon

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, we were launching moon mission after moon mission. However, today, it's been nearly 50 years since the last moon mission accomplished by Apollo 17 in December of 1972. Since then, moon proposals have come and gone, but none of them have succeeded in reaching the moon. This is often attributed to poor funding and political influence. However, I believe the main reason space progression has stalled since the 1970s is because of a lack of high competition from the USSR. This video explains the various reasons why we have not gone back to the moon in half a century and the future of moon missions.
