Yes, soon we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of mankind making history by setting foot on the Moon.
But sadly in 3 years time we will also remember the 50th anniversary of the last man ever to walk on the lunar surface.
The scientific reasons to revisit the Moon don't seem to outweigh the financial cost to do so and the Cold War era finished back in the early 80's.
But given that this achievement could be done half a century ago and that technologies have evolved dramatically since then how hard would it be to send a new manned mission to the surface of the Moon?
Which technological issues remain problematic, and which ones have been overcome since 1969?
