> I wish we had the spirit of the Apollo

Careful what you wish for. The Saturn test program peaked at 3 tests / year (unless you want to count the separately tested launch escape system for the crew capsule), and the fully stacked Saturn V was only tested twice (in 1967 and 1968) before crewed missions.

For all its speed, Apollo was not a SpaceX-style rapid iteration program.
