Who's going to do all of this designing? You'd be hard pressed to find 20 people with the qualifications and skillset that the average Apollo era engineer had in NASA. These were people who knew innately what was required to put men on the Moon. No computer simulations to tell them, no grant proposals, just what was going to be required of each one of them.

There would have to be a complete shift in NASA before they could put another ship up there, they simply don't have the skills. Space-X is going to do it first, because they still know how to run a project that complex from beginning to end.
