We don't have the rockets to reach it anymore.

They stopped making the Saturn V.  The Soviets never got the N-1 to work.
Energia is working but they aren't going to be launching them anytime soon
due to the state of the Russian Economy.  The US never did get around to
building a Shuttle derivative heavy booster nor did they get around to
building Nova, the Saturn V replacment.  Only the US and Russia have ever had
the boosters to reach the moon with a manned misison.  Russia still has some
but can't launch them because they really don't have the money.

Of course we can still send probes to the moon since you don't have to send
as much mass.
