What about Voyager, ISS, Hubble, Mars rovers, Mars helicopter(!), and Cassini/Huygens missions? There's more to do in space than just going to the moon. I'd love to see us back there as well, but I think there's still a whole lot to be excited about.

agreed, all incredible stuff, I replied to another comment with a fuller reply, but despite these incredible recent achievements I think the years since apollo have been overshadowed by failures in rocket development and innovation (except spacex) and nasa under funding. I linked a story about SLS delays and funding levels and Nasa budget in my other reply
