Nope, it is not easy at all. The infrastructure to build a Saturn V does not exist today. If you think it does, feel free to point it right out. It took close to half a million people to get Apollo of the ground, Start your recruiting drive now. Do you really hold the delusion that such enormous projects happen on a whim?
And yes. The blueprints do exist. Why you would advocate 1960's technology for a return to the moon is beyond weird.
Well, according to you the 1960s technology was good enough to make severe trips to the moon so why do you need to invent a whole new infrastructure for a return in 2019? Get it done! Hell, have the Chinese or the North Koreans build the damn thing. Or was the whole project just a scam?
