It is closer to Mars or the Sun, yet we have no satellites to study the Moon closer. We can put a rover on Mars, but never on the Moon. Strange, no?

It takes about 9km/s dV to get to orbit, another 3km/s dV to get to the moon, and about 800 m/s dV to get into orbit. It's relatively easy to do this and we have been.

Then why didn't they send many satellites and rovers back in the 70s, 80s?

That's such a subjective thing to say, I don't think they sent enough either.
