I enjoyed reading all of the comments on here, but I think the original point of my post may have been misunderstood by some.

I have mentioned this same topic to several people over the past few days. When I did, I didn't put the emphasis on whether we currently have the man power or technical ability to either recreate the Saturn V or come up with something similar. Instead I asked if the program would ever get anywhere with all the political maneuvering, environmental restrictions, and health and safety regulations we seem to have acquired.

Unfortunately most people seem to share the view that the 'can-do' attitude that was prevalent at the end of the sixties does seem to have become a 'no-can-do' attitude and there are people who revel in their ability to stop people from doing things.

I find this very disappointing.
