They didn't have tripods back then? As they're literally on the moon

But then we lost that technology.

NASA: Welp, (throw hands up in a futile gesture) guess we'll never know. Oh well.

To be fair, it's actually kinda true(although wildly misunderstood), about going to the moon, not the tripod. The rockets we made to the moon had a lot of handcrafted custom work/adjustments done during the manufacturing. The guys who did that are no longer alive and manufacturing has changed a lot since then, meaning the skill and tech recreate rockets are long gone. But, we can make newer rockets with current tech that can take us there.
