Our understanding of the formation of the moon, and first 50 million years in the history of solar system and the earth derive largely from the moon rocks we brought back. But we can do all those without sending men there.
However, we didn't do anything because there was no possible economic justifications for doing anything more. It was a national prestige project for which money was no object. But the prestige was gained and the cost of Vietnam needs to be paid. Hence the loss of continued interest.

If we really made several trips to to moon why would we simply abandon all of that infrastructure instead of continuing to develop it? Can you imagine where we would be if we had continued down that path? So for that reason I'm calling BS on the moon landings. And even in the highly unlikely event they actually occurred they were of no real lasting value.
China is supposedly going to make some attempts to go to the moon. I wonder what their results will be? Imagine that they make it round trip but their astronauts break out in horrible tumors from space radiation from being on the moon. How will we explain that it didn't happen to our astronauts decades ago? Trump will be busy claiming that it's fake news.
Not the craziest things you've ever demonstrated belief in. But not far from it.

People are hoodwinked all the time, especially if they want to believe in the scam. Maybe you will live long enough to see some actual results? I doubt if I will.
