The Saturns weer not that well made, and much is to obsolete to use now (1960&#039;s electronics?!!) though the engines weer good, adn making new hulls are easy, so folks have based designs for big boosters on them before (like the Jarvis booster [http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/jarvis.htm] named after the companies astrounaut Gregory Jarvis who died no the Challenger [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Jarvis].).

You need to remember little of the $30B to develop a booster is nessisary for the booster.  Hence why commercially developed boosters cost about 1/4th as much. But of course voter support comes from the &quot;waste&quot; spread aronud the country.  Otherwise losing all US space capabilities dosen&#039;t really niterest the public much.]]></description>

We actually do not have the blue prints for the Saturn launch vehicles.

Each part that was contracted out was individually hand made. In many cases if something didn&#039;t fit right things were changed on the fly with just and engineers approval and sign off. No records were kept or made.

A fuel pump on one rocket might not fit the next rocket.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[SLS is a waste of time and money. We built the great Saturn 5 in less time and it has already been proven. Dust off the blueprints, design some modern avionics and lets go fly. I work on ISS and am appalled at what I see NASA doing on a daily basis.]]></description>
