Well, maybe they are just as accessible as NY or LA?
If ANYONE considers themselves a science follower, or a skeptic that that we have the technology now, then not taking the evidence into account is also blame-worthy.

To keep maintaining we do not have the technology to currently go to the stars is a ridiculous statement. Almost every week someone, somewhere sees a craft which moves at incredible speed across the sky. Denying that these craft exist is just plain denial and is something any scientist would definitely consider when investigating the possibility of planetry travel today.
Of course, if we think they 'belong' to someone else and not humans, then thats a different matter since we dont have access to these craft, however, if we humans do have access, then it does appear possible to travel much faster than NASAs rockets do.
If these do exist, then there is no technological reason not to go back to the Moon.
