Don't be offended, but I find NASA more compelling.

good point.
Don't be offended, but I find your entire existence being dependent on saying "Of course! We just need x yrs and $XXX billion" might also be a factor.........
It’s not often I agree, but there’s no chance we are ever landing a man on mars!!We (man) have now travelled further than ever before.
The Moon. Which is a bit like popping into your kitchen, in terms of space travel. And it has taken £billions. And it took great time and effort. And some people actually believe we have the ability to put a man on Mars.

I fail to see how anyone on here could argue against NASA and the space industry in general as to what is and what isn't possible with space travel. This latest trip around the moon in my opinion was an absolutely fascinating insight as to what we can do now and the technology involved was simply amazing. If NASA and astronauts say that Mars is within our reach, who is anyone on here to say otherwise? What qualifies you to doubt it?
Not alive and bringing him back safely, anyway.

Do you know something that NASA doesn't for you to say this?
Why didn't they land?
Because it is orders of magnitude more difficult, that's why.
NASA already knows they can't.

According to NASA, the Artemis II mission was designed as a crewed lunar flyby, a critical and necessary test of NASA's deep-space systems before attempting future landings on the moon
In this video from the YouTube channel ScienceClic, the French visual artist and educator Alessandro Roussel takes viewers on a voyage from Earth deep into the cosmos aboard a speculative – yet theoretically possible – spacecraft approaching the speed of light. Through polished 3D visuals and concise, well-researched explanations, the short explores how the laws of the Universe would manifest at such extreme and unfamiliar speeds, including what humans on board such a craft would see and how time would dilate. Through this immersive, reality-bending journey, Roussel probes the limits of what we know about reality, and indeed the limits of reality itself.

They did it with the Apollo missions in the 1969 and have landed 6 times. I don't think there is any doubt that they can do it. Only money is the reason for not landing.
"test"
In other words, NASA are not currently confident that they could safely land humans on the moon.
Which is what some on here have been saying, repeatedly.
