But let us consider a hypothetical. Suppose you want a new computer. Would you rush out to buy an ENIAC?
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.
