Then use a old model

They can't. Most of the engineering drawings and tooling were destroyed. We can't build a Saturn V anymore. Your government at work....

That’s not true. There are multiple copies of Saturn V plans on microfiche including a set at the National Archives. However, it would not make sense to replicate technology from the 1950s.

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.

The Ares V, using SRB's and the external tank from the shuttle would have been more powerful than the Saturn V. For some inexplicable reason it would have taken 15 years to develop. It's cancelled now.
