The blue prints are everywhere...the science is recorded in lots of libraries. We also know that the thing was done so we know we can do it again. We just need a practical reason and a non bankruptable one and we can do it again. Heck your cell phone has thousands of times more computing power than the computing systems aboard the Apollo craft or for that matter...a couple of modern day I7 Intel home PC’s with 16 gigs of DDR memory could run the entire Apollo program from lift off to splash down! We have no practical reasons for going to the moon right now unless we have unspoken of military or otherworldly reasons for doing so but just suggesting that sort of thing brings out predictable “you are a paranoid conspiracy mongerer” comments from the usual deep state sources.
Now if we developed cheap reliable tech that could allow regular translunar/earth space travel...as well as new bio discoveries that would mitigate radiation and the loss of bone tissue and muscular tone when in space then we might have something of a new era to be excited about! How’s that for realism!?
We know the pyramids were done so theoretically we know “we” can do it again.

The “old tech” of Apollo had redundancy built in (couldn’t go to Radio Shack, RIP, for replacement parts).
When we landed on the moon, they (people in mission control) knew what panels and technology were “not needed” any further if the crew still needed to cannibalize some components for parts to rewire/replace if for example the lander didn’t want to launch back to the capsule.
Even the space shuttle computer pales in comparison to a pocket cellphone.
However I still run into situations almost every week where my iphone is unresponsive to a touch command or other function and I have to completely shut it down and totally off for a couple of minutes so it can “recover” its brain. I wouldn’t trust my iphone to fly a plane.
