Why not use the same type of rocket used to send men to the men in 1969? It worked.
Hahahaha!
Someone needs to talk to the crew at CuriousMarc’s channel. They know more about the original moon shot hardware and software than anyone alive.
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.
The Saturn V's biggest drawbacks are that it is not reusable and relies on liquid hydrogen fuel. Both of these would make for extraordinarily expensive launches if we wanted to spend absurd sums to put the Saturn V design back into production and use it today.
Because modern technology is better in almost every way as Musk shows on a daily basis. But technology starts with what works and makes it better. Idiots are the ones who think they can just plan their way to something that works without lots of testing and figuring out what’s wrong and how to fix it. It’s hard work. That’s the part that idiot central planners don’t want to understand. Lik e Einstein said, genius is 99% perspiration. No one is smart enough to figure out everything Mother Nature has planned for you. So you test, and you learn, and you get better.
Last I heard, they have lost the institutional memory of how to build it. Duh! I'll bet they know all of the supposed genders though
They don’t have the plans, and no one remembers how it worked.
Seriously. All that stuff is lost.
