We haven't gone back simply because funding was cut. Apollo was incredibly expensive, and the political will to fund it no longer exists. Your argument from incredulity does not constitute anything substantive.

why did the space shuttle never go past the van allen belt?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5481399


It was a low Earth orbit. It is a question of how much fuel it takes. Compare the size of the Saturn V with the Space shuttle. Most of the Saturn V was fuel. It was alos a 3 stage rocket. Stage 1 dropped off at around 60 miles (I can't remember the exact heights). Stage 2 took everything up to low Earth orbit. Stage 3 did the final push toward the Moon. If you want to understand more, you have to study the rocket equation.

I just ask why the shuttle never went past the van allen melt.
not the moon.
can you not read my post correctly,
I know my grammar is not good.

The shuttle didn't even have the delta-V needed to go past the van allen belt, it was designed exclusively for use in low earth orbit.
