OK, but I think they do have the organizational capacity to go to the Moon - because they've done it before. :-P Funding is the issue.
I don't know if I'd want to be a planetary scientist NOW unless I was set to retire soon; maybe the past 5-10 years would have been a good time and maybe that could continue for another year or two, but looking forward, it is not good. Orion is going to sink a lot of projects that would have otherwise gone ahead.
