[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16182579, member: 51947"] We have cannot rebuild the F-1 rocket engines that powered the Saturn V as there were lots of little details and hand made craftsmanship skills that were lost to time. Re-engineering them would cost much more than designing a newer engine. Our Atlas rockets first stage use the RD-180 from Russia based on the NK-33 that were originally designed for [i]their [/i]moon program's N1 Rocket (and later derivatives for their shuttle Buran). Even re-using the tech from the STS (Shuttle) program in the SLS system (SR boosters and derivatives of the shuttle's RS-25 engines) has been running into issues and is cost prohibitive as making it as reusable has been a major struggle.
