If you go back and look: Russia has been saying that they will put someone on the moon since 2011 (at least).
No kidding, just Google it. The date seems to be 2029 or 2030 depending on which news article you take a look at.
They have been saying this every year. Last time was in the Fall of 2015....
Sorry for being skeptical, but all we are seeing mostly is all talk, no do. I'd love to see someone get back up there....but not seeing a whole lot going on for it.
5 years after JFK told NASA that we were going to the moon, we were doing the Gemini missions, and the USSR was doing their Voskhod missions.
So.....2011 to now? Anyone see anything going on?
Less talk, more do.

I have the suspicion, however,
that technology has advanced from the Apollo years.
We certainly have more billionaires, anyway. LOL.
why are we playing with rockets again?
we had the saturn V launch system.
space x is launching rockets? big deal...
why are we going backwards?
