News about the moon always gives me a big what-if sense. Like the series “For All Mankind”. It is always with a big regret that I think of what could have been. But excitement about what will be in terms of space exploration. Is there any other explanation besides money and public support for why the moon and space stopped being interesting for governments?
There are so many asteroids with exotic materials that justify throwing nonsensical amounts of money into furthering space exploration and travel. The problem is being unable to take advantage of those resources in our lifetime. Makes us unwilling to try.

There’s nothing on it we can use. That’s the gist of it. If it has resources we could exploit we’d have been making bases up there since day one.

Agreed. You said it well.
