Probably for the same sorts of reasons that no-one has descended to the bottom of the Marianas Trench recently.
Why would they? in 2009 a hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle called Nereus was sent down to measure the depth of the Trench. There is no reason to risk any lives. Nice try though. ~SheopleNation

Why?
The object that hit the moon was "probably a Taurid," says MSFC meteor expert Bill Cooke. In other words, it was part of the same meteor shower that peppered Earth with fireballs in late October and early November 2005. (See "Fireball Sightings" from Science@NASA.) The moon was peppered, too, but unlike Earth, the moon has no atmosphere to intercept meteoroids and turn them into harmless streaks of light. On the moon, meteoroids hit the ground--and explode. Sign up for EXPRESS SCIENCE NEWS delivery "The flash we saw," says Suggs, "was about as bright as a 7th magnitude star." That's two and a half times dimmer than the faintest star a person can see with their unaided eye, but it was an easy catch for the group's 10-inch telescope. Cooke estimates that the impact gouged a crater in the moon's surface "about 3 meters wide and 0.4 meters deep." As moon craters go, that's small. "Even the Hubble Space Telescope couldn't see it," notes Cooke. The moon is 384,400 km away. At that distance, the smallest things Hubble can distinguish are about 60 meters wide. This isn't the first time meteoroids have been seen hitting the moon. During the Leonid meteor storms of 1999 and 2001, amateur and professional astronomers witnessed at least half-a-dozen flashes ranging in brightness from 7th to 3rd magnitude. Many of the explosions were photographed simultaneously by widely separated observers.

Wrong again jr. The Ocean exists on Earth. The Moon is the next frontier. Your arguments are weak minded. ~SheopleNation

Without a doubt we have a secret Space program. ~SheopleNation

That's what I believe.That is the reason we have never been on the Moon.
At a certain distance from Earth no living being cannot survive.It is something,a bond that keep us alive as long as we are around the Earth and on Earth.
That is why all the manned space mission took place at a limit of space, outside Earth's atmosphere.
After that limit is exceeded every living being will die because all biological and energy ties are broken.
But no one can explain this.There is no proof otherwise.They say that a manned mission to Mars will take place at a moment in time,but all that time delay,though the technology exist for years.
It's something that they cannot explain,why we can not travel in space only up to a certain distance.
I think it's a well kept secret.
