The Apollo program was ended because it was never more than a vanity project; putting a man on the moon for the sole sake of collecting rocks is harder to justify(NASA tried to get a second run of Saturn Vs, but never succeeded in selling the idea to Congress). There would need to be a serious surge in publicly-expressed interest for a true moon program to come back online.
