We already had the Saturn. If you're saying NASA's other choice was nothing, then it was purely political and if they'd stuck to the science the Air Force would have been told to suck it eventually. Instead NASA wasted 30 years of rocket science on a giant turd that was far more expensive than Saturn and killed a person ever 2.5 launches.

Yes, it was political. And it wasn't at all impossible that they would just collapse NASA's budget (this was in the recessions of the 1970's), and NASA wouldn't even exist today.
