We've been to the moon already. Why didn't we just plan to do it then when we were there?

Also what is the point of this? I just don't get the purpose of NASA anymore. The dick measuring contest with the Soviet Union is over.

The point of it is to analyze the impact and resulting debris to ascertain the amount of water that can be found on the moon.

 

The point of finding out that information is for planning a lunar base.

What's the point of the lunar base?

to get a head start on the dick measuring contest with china.
