They actually are getting ready to send another rover to the moon this year. Is it Artemis? I think that’s it. They have three or four manned missions planned too,the first in 2024 they announced, to put the first female astronaut on the moon. They have to test everything for the coming manned Mars expedition now that they’ve teamed with SpaceX and the moon is where that’ll take place. They’ve sent tons of rovers to moon since the fifty’s. They were doing that long before any astronaut went to space. NASA knows every rock on the moon. Moon is no closer to the sun than we are actually further away when it’s on the outside of its orbit, a little closer on the inside.

China landed a rover on the dark side of the moon a year or two ago. It just took some samples and left though. They have plenty of images of the moon already.
Yeah, there really isn't much to do on the moon that is worth the time, effort and resources. Maybe when we aren't using such primitive methods to get into space we can check out the moon some more but if you are going to take the time Mars is a much more interesting and mysterious specimen.
