Some of the original landing site should be off limits. As many as possible of those first footprints should be preserved.
I suggest that before anyone returns to the site, they should consult several archeologists about preserving as much as possible of the original Apollo sites. Map out where they can go without disturbing too much of this historical site.
25 million, could create wonderful gardens feeding the hungry, so they may perhaps feed themselves. Simple housing the homeless human beings. Creating a good cycle. Whats important is avoided. While we witness the wealthy squander funds aimlessly, only for the few.

There are plenty of resources for humanitarian endeavors as well as space programs. Corporate greed, bureaucracy, and outright ignorance stand in the way for the most part.
But I am so tired of people not realizing that space exploration IS ESSENTIAL for helping to feed and house humanity. The spin off technology is far more vast than most folk even know.
Humanity can no longer afford NOT to get into space as much as we can. Mankind NEEDS space, both literally and figuratively, if we are to not only survive, but also thrive.
And if NASA can't handle it due to horrible budget cuts, then I am all for "X-Prize" like incentives to get our feet BACK off the ground.
