I don't see any relevence to the "recreate the Saturn V" hypothetical. How quickly and effectively we do something is directed tied to how important it is to us and what level of resources we apply to solving the problem. We can easily do the Apollo program today, and would apply more modern technology to it. If the national goal was to accomplish it in 8-9 years from now, to be consistent with the "go to the moon and back" mandate of the 1960's, and we funded it appropriately, it will happen and be a success. Of this I have absolutely no doubt.
