	I'm still missing something - why not start cranking out Saturn V's
again? Would it be as difficult as building a new launcher? I was surprised
when I found out that the Saturn lifts about 40% *more* than Energiya (sp?)
(140 tonne vs. 100 tonne) to LEO. Are the designs for the Saturn available
to space companies?
