Actually, the space enthusiast/activist community does bring this up
often now. Even on this list, this is not the first time -- in fact, I
think it's the third time since I've been on this list -- for this issue
to come up.
I've also raised it many times on other lists, such as
howtobuildaspacehabitat. See:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/howtobuildaspacehabitat/
However, no one is biting -- in terms of either someone building Saturns
(either through a startup or from one of the Big Three aerospace firms;
I bet the Big Three would be against it now) or getting NASA to
re-examine them as a launch vehicle.

Dan
