That's assuming that those willing to spend the money on getting to the Moon would spend it on those 'urgent problems' instead - if they had no choice.
I hope Man does go back there and carries on striving to expand our horizons. I'd rather see us making some progress where we can, instead of banging our heads against brick walls trying to fix things which just seem to defy all attempts at fixing them.
We can't solve war, hunger, flood, drought, earthquake, tsunami, nuclear proliferation, pollution, extinction, poverty, tragedy, death, disease etc. etc. etc. despite all the assurances from different quarters that 'if only' we did this or that, then we could eradicate such-and-such problem forever.
