Why is it we don't have a decent rover (like Curiosity) roaming the moon you think

All we have of that "interview" is sketchy references about an interview at "a NASA Symposium by a professor who wishes to remain anonymous"...?

then there is one other major question....the water tower four miles behind the backpack of apollo12 or 14 astronaut on the pic when he is climbing down the ladder..
and tv shows it a lot....you get about two seconds to see it on tv advertisements for space documentaries.
it's just over the horizon...blaring white and shiny and right there behind the backpack in full view.
bigger than Dallas

This is extremely good question and almost a smoking gun. It would be really cheap to put Curiosity on our moon. In fact with the Sun and Solar power so abundant on the moon, you could put spirit and opportunity on there even cheaper and with no wind on the moon they might last for ever. Don't forget the dust wipers for the solar panels this time though, just in case some dust manages to get up there.

There could be interesting stuff enough on the moon, other world technology that may have crashed there.
And about the funds, yeah right...
So, you want to spend billions to go explore the moon in case there are crashed aliens ships and tech there? NASA and the government are not run by excitable 15 year olds (not saying you are that)
Nowing the US governement, they would fund it gladly to get hi res video or images of the Apollo landing sites...
To pound on their chest for their biggest achievement in the space race.
Says you..but clearly they are not. Since they have not done that.
First talking a bout bases and such, and now not even a decent rover on the moon more then 40 years later.
Nothing to see there, keep telling yourself that
There's something fishy up there i tell you.

I do agree with you about the possibility we never actually went because surely, strategically, the moon would make a very good base, especially for launching our space missions, rather than gravity challenged earth.
