Essentially, money and political will.
Since the cancellation of Apollo, the emphasis was placed upon low earth orbit (through the development of the space shuttle and the construction of the ISS) and duration of missions. NASA has yielded huge amounts of data from this as the focus turns again to manned space exploration. Also, with the ending of Apollo, the technology, tooling, production processes and plants were all closed and the hardware left to lie fallow. Boeing, who manufactured the Saturn SI-C have spent years reconfiguring and upgrading their old facility for the production of the SLS core stage. As the old technology of Apollo is now obsolete it has been superseded by modern composites, materials, manufacturing techniques and systems that all have to be validated. This has taken years and the grants from congress have been drip fed. In other words, 'rebuilding' - which has been a 'painful' and protracted process.

"nothing wrong with being simple minded"
Confirmed the crap online conspiracy believer.
"the government tells you something happened and you take it as fact."
Because the junk online conspiracy theory that you mindlessly parrot is of course entirely scientifically accurate, honest, truthful, not in the slightest bit misleading, dishonest, disingenuous or exploitative and being entirely bereft of agenda or bias, has your best interests at heart. Ok then.
I am irrelevant to this exchange, so is "the government" - not interested in that. The science that you are woefully ignorant of is axiomatic and therefore has a voice of its own.
"I think for myself though so yeah."
Said the gullible believer in junk moronic online conspiracy theory.
Of course you do - absolutely no reliance whatsoever upon crap You Tube conspiracy videos, clickbait confirmation bias, cherry picked quote mining and circular self-referencing pseudoscientific conspiracy websites going on here.
I'd stick to your gaming, it's more grounded in reality. "So yeah"
