Doesn't matter. Congress will give NASA the funds to try a thing, so
it's pointless to argue if NASA is even capable of such an
undertaking. The last thing Congress wants to do is to spend
multi-tens of billions of dollars on another NASA mega-project.

Of course, by this time Grissom, White, and Chaffee were all dead.
