They can’t build the saturn 5 anymore. Dont know how, and no one makes the engines. Plus the current launchpads may not be made to handle their liftoff power either.

SpaceX’s biggest booster, the Starship Super Heavy, has over 2 times the thrust of the Saturn V.

There's no need to rebuild the Saturn 5 rocket. Today's rocket technology is much superior. This is like rebuilding the 1969 Plymouth Road Runner.

Musk’s Boosters for Starship generate way more thrust that the Saturn V did.
