Been watching the HBO series on DVD.

We want to go to the moon again? Why are we discarding the Saturn/Apollo combination out of hand?
A totally new design is not required. The savings in just electronics mass and the use of electronic replacements for many systems that were solely mechanical in 1969 gets nearly six men to the moon!
Modifying a proven system is a much smaller risk than designing from scratch anyway.
