I'm not sure anyone predicted that after we landed on the moon, people would get bored and not bother going to any other planets, and that increasingly sophisticated robot probes would be used instead. Landing on the moon was always the precursor to a Moon Base and trips to Mars and Venus, and asteroid mining. It'll probably happen eventually, but it was supposed to be in my lifetime, dammit!
