NASA set those goals, btw. Your efforts to twist it as merely what I 'expected' don't wash.
Same goal as Apollo.
If it took 7-8 years to do it the very first time, it's simple logic we'd be able do it again, and probably in less than 7-8 years.
But it's just the opposite. 'Anti-logic' is a common feature of Apollo, it seems.
And a lunar lander contest, oh please!

The 1973 Apollo Experience Report- Protection Against Radiation found here clearly said at the top:
The MSC Director waived the use of the International System of Units (SI) for this
Apollo Experience Report because, in his judgment, the use of SI units would impair
the usefulness of the report or result ~ in excessive cost.
So even as far back as Apollo the SI units were in use.
I really think you have problems understanding English.

You should cease, immediately, the gratuitous ad hominem attacks. You are simply embarrassing yourself on ATS.

Let's discuss how they did live broadcasts from the moon that shows rocks and craters that were completely unknown and would not be shown again until the LRO photographed them.
That would be like asking Uri Geller to bend a spoon and then asking him again to prove he can bend a spoon.
The $104 billion plan calls for an Apollo-like vehicle to carry crews of up to four astronauts to the moon for seven-day stays on the lunar surface. The spacecraft, known as the Crew Exploration Vehicle or CEV, could even carry six-astronaut crews to the international space station or fly automated resupply shipments as needed, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said.
The Obama administration has laid out its most detailed ambitions yet for a return of U.S. astronauts to the moon, including the prospects of a lunar outpost where explorers could live for months at a time.
As listed in the Con Ops, this mission – based on just SLS related hardware – would involve two Block 1A SLS vehicles, launching 121 days apart. The first SLS would launch the Lunar Lander, with a Block 1 CPS, followed by the second SLS launching a crew of four on Orion for a 19 day mission, with seven days on the Moon.

They did get some money, as you know.
Was pissing most of that money away in near-record time what convinced you the most?
Or when they finally admitted they had no clue about the total amount of money needed, or how long it would take?
What supports your case, anything at all?
