Why can't humans put a man on the moon again?
In 2004, President George W. Bush declared that we would return to the moon by 2020. NASA gave a shock response that left the world's jaw dropping. I'm sorry, the technical knowledge from the first six landings was lost by mistake, so we have to start all over again. It's really not a joke. NASA ran the story itself, and big names like the New York Times and CNN ran the story. NASA went on to explain that we had lost telemetry tapes, hardware technology, documentation tools, video film, moon landing data, and this and that, blah blah blah.
