You make some good points but usually when old tech gets aged out, its because it's been replaced by better, more capable technology. In this case they supposedly "aged out" the shit needed to go to the moon, and only replaced it with shit that can't go to the moon. This from nasa, which has a budget of $20 million per day. I feel like most organizations in possession of technology that could go to and land on a place that isn't earth, would not only value that technology, but continue to improve upon it, especially after 5 decades have gone by.
