NASA estimated at the time that each moon flight had about a 1/20 chance of blowing up.
In the 70s the public lost interest, the Soviets were bate and money ran out, so moon stuff was abandoned as it was basically pointless to do more anyway.
Then Challenger actually blew up and blew up NASA with it.
When it was mooted that they might fire up the moon rocket again it was realised that 1/20 chance of a fireball was no longer acceptable. In order to build something safer and capable of landing on the moon they would have to start from scratch and that would cost umpteen dollars. No one had the stomach for it
And really going to the moon isn’t all that important.
