All I can say is... cool... very cool... and with 1960's technology too.

  Still the most powerful rocket ever built. Which is kinda cool and sad at the same time. (The coolest piece of technology – despite all the raw power of the Saturn V – is still the Lunar Module[1]. It could land on the damn Moon and freaking start again. How cool is that?)

  Has the technology that gets us from here to there improved significantly since then?

      But getting to the Moon is still a three day ride (always will be with the technology we have) and while the Orion capsule might be a bit more spacious than the Apollo capsule it’s not all that different. (The Orion capsule won’t fly to the Moon now but it’s the only hardware on the horizon that would have that capability.)
