They managed to lose all the blueprints over the years, as I understand it.

I've been spreading that falsehood for years, but I finally got corrected.

The issue is that the Saturn V had many unique parts, and the correct manufacture was known only to men who are no longer with us.

Did they ask the Chinese for a copy of the plans? They probably have them.
