... that same government shredded and destroyed the blueprints for the Saturn 5 rocket motors, right? And destroyed all the toolings for making them? And that’s why they weren’t available for the space shuttle, or for now?You didn’t know that...

And, all the engineers who designed and built the Saturn 5 rocket are in their mid to late 80’s or dead. A relative who worked on the team that designed the Saturn 5 steering would be 86 if he were still alive.

The blueprints may have been lost. But components remained after cancellation, including stages of the Saturn 5 rockets. Some are on display at three American space centers: the John F. Kennedy Space Center near Cape Canaveral, Florida; the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas and the United States Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Not everything was "destroyed".
