Well not only is it incredibly expensive, but we also don't really need to go back to the moon. The moon landings can be considered a publicity stunt, in order to represent American superiority over the Russians, to show how much they could advance further. Since there is no more need for that (because of the end of the Cold War and that) then that's another reason gone. A big reason there was an expedition to land on the moon was to collect data, but as we've already collected that (and the moon is hardly likely to change that much since then) then it would be a waste of money. It's also dangerous to send a manned rocket to the moon. Why would you risk the lives of people when technology has advanced so far that you could do just as much with robots?
