I won't drag this thread into politics, I don't give a rat, I'm not even American. Both sides had skeletons in their closet, as far as Vietnam or Kopechne or Watergate goes, LBJ or EMK and Nixon were equal ruthless bastards AFAIK.

This said,

Saturn V production was put on standby by LBJ in summer 1968 (blame NASA Webb, too, who only cared about Apollo before leaving his job) but could be restarted until Nixon (or NASA Paine, silly Paine) definitively slammed that door in January 1970.

As late as May 1972 NASA still had lans to keep some Saturn V in mothballs to try and restart production... somewhere in the future.
