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".

Yeah, just like Hllary delivered 30,000 copies of her emails - printed out. And guaranteed nothing important was missing. So how hard could searching the material be?

Which would mean all we'd have to do, instead of NASA spending a billion dollars to develop the new SLS heavy lifter for the Orion moon capsule, is just send some people out to John F. Kennedy Space Center, Johnson Space Center in Houston and the United States Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama to MEASURE the Saturn 5 rocket engines on display there and simply reproduce them - right?

After all, we KNOW they work, and it's MUCH cheaper to reproduce them than to invent something completely new that just serves to duplicate the same function. And they're sitting right there, waiting to be used!
