I know I’ve read that NASA lost the plans for the Saturn V, but our technology today is so much better, so much more efficient, that we really don’t need 50+ year old tech.

It's true, we don't need it, but it's interesting to see what things were like back then.

There are a bunch of videos on YouTube showing a group of nerds (not an insult) attempting to restore an Apollo LEM guidance computer to operating condition. A good starting point is here:
