YES.

Assemble "That Pile, again"--with 2004 technology--until we "Do It Better."

The "Pile" WORKED--RELIABLY.

I'm SURE our 2004 Engineers can "Do It Better."

But Until we see evidence that a "Better Way" has been Developed--WHY NOT "Re-Boot" the "WAY That Worked??"

Still the same idea--rockets are rockets--but technology had moved forward in a million tiny ways. New metal alloys, new welding techniques, new injector designs, new fuel blends, CAD design. The new rocket will be stronger, faster, better. We can do it again and do it even better. With or without the old bluelines.
