To be fair, we went back multiple times, and india just put a lunar lander on the south pole. Lots of valuable scientific data about our closest celestial neighbor has been discovered through these missions.
While I see what you mean, systematic scientific research about the moon, carried out over decades by multiple countries, however imperfect, is far different than the hubris of a bourgeois dipshit getting himself crushed at the bottom of the ocean, because he wanted to see a glorified cemetery and thought safety regulations were for liberal pinko cucks.
I wouldn’t say putting a man on the moon isn’t important. It’s certainly very cool. But is it as important as satellites? Fuck no!
Like it’s cool in a “I’d like to take a submarine to visit the titanic” dare devil sense but why was it important?
How did it improve the world?

Fun fact: every crewed mission to the Moon in human history was done during the first presidential term of the Nixon regime.
