____We can’t build a Saturn V anymore. Your government at work....______

Sure we can, there is one laying on it’s side, intact on the grounds of JSC.

The Saturn V was a great booster in its day but is quite obsolete today.

No, we can’t. They destroyed the tooling and something like 90+% of the plans. Most of the engineers are dead and didn’t keep their own notes.

NASA is taking the remaining ones apart to try to reverse engineer them. If we were told that we had to make one within a year, we couldn’t.
