And if fish had bear fur, they'd have bear lice. The conversation or claim is not about how smart someone is, while artificially limiting the resources they are allowed to use to come up with a solution. We can model chemical reactions on server farms at a subatomic level. We have learned knowledge and reference materials. An engineer would use all of those things. Whether they'd be able to use a stick and an abacus to calculate circumference and tilt is irrelevant. What is relevant, is we now are able to do it much faster and more precise, using our tools and knowledge, than they did back then with a wooden stick. When materials scientists come up with construction materials, they would use all that is currently at their disposal, and would and do achieve much better results than Roman concrete. >but is struggling to do it again now because no one is struggling. we have a much lower budget now because there is no cold war race to the moon, and the problem now is not "get to the moon at all cost" but is "get to the moon under this specific costs." The reason it's been a long work in progress, is because it's not urgent, and we want it cheap. Different problem, different solution. It's not because we don't know how to use a wooden stick.
