You do realize that we've landed on the moon before? Why is it so important to have all this extra equipment? Why is the currently planned future missions so much more dangerous than the landings during the 1960s/70s?

Give the scientists involved some credit. I'm sure the've thought of all kinds of contingencies and worse case scenarios that most of us would never dream of.
