You asked and I answered. Don’t care if you don’t believe me. So tell me why haven’t we been back? It should be easier and cheaper than ever.

Don’t care if you don’t believe me.

Like I told one of your compatriots above, I don't care about your denialism.

So tell me why haven’t we been back?

So it was 300 million dollars per flight in 1970. That's a little above a billion dollars today after inflation.

While all of the technical problems have been solved at least once, that's not the same as having actual working hardware rolling off the production line ready to fly.

Any engineer can explain the difference between "understanding how to build something in principle" and "having a factory set up, running, and actually building that something".

So given that there is a fair amount of work and expense involved in rebuilding that capacity, the reason we haven't been back is that nobody has wanted to write those multi-billion dollar checks.

After all, the money has to be available to pay Democrat constituencies so they pull the "D" lever on election day.
