This pisses me off so much. I literally have all the dates and schedules i could find of every one of those missions to return to the moon saved in my phone calendar. This was the most excited I've been for something like this my entire life.

So back to low earth orbit only. Id be fine if we sent robots there as long as they experimented with building things and advancing tech.
