Do you see any Saturn V rockets lying around waiting to be used? Or the facilities to launch them? Or the assembly lines to make them? No? Huh, well maybe we don't have the capability readily available then.

Thank you for mentioning Mars. The path around the Van Allen belts that Apollo used is suitable only for trips to the Moon. Interstellar trips can take a path with that angle so they have to go through the thicker parts of the belt.

Path around?

Yes, around. They are belts, not spheres.

Laughable

Is that the footage where they edited his answers from his Gemini missions in to make it look like he was answering about Apollo?

Even if not, why should he remember what is a pretty uneventful part of the trip? They were on a preplanned trajectory taking them around the thickest parts of the belts. they were bobbing and weaving Buck Rodgers style around pockets of radiation.
