Actually we've gone a lot farther into space since then..... we've just done
it without human pilots. We've learned a lot about Mars in the last few
years (former rivers, present atmosphere, possible life), thanks to unmanned rovers
and orbiters. The only reason for manned flights was to impress the Soviets.
