List of current and future lunar missions

I thought I would see what is happening in regards to lunar missions and was pleasantly surprised at the number that are actually going on or in the works.  You might be interested in checking out this Wikipedia link

There are a lot of tables with mission information so will not copy.  Better you just take a look.

A lunar rover or Moon rover is a space exploration vehicle designed to move across the surface of the Moon. Some rovers have been designed to transport members of a human spaceflight crew, such as the Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle; others have been partially or fully autonomous robots, such as Lunokhod 1.

The Moon so close, but so far politically.  :-)

I may have to buy a smartphone to try out some of the lunar Apps coming out.

Lunar Module 3D app

LunarModule3D is a unique lunar lander style game that mixes classic arcade action with realistic environments.  The game takes you through 5 real locations on the moon including 4 of the apollo landing sites and Tycho crater.  All of the lunar environments have been generated from actual photos of the moon using shape from shading technology.
