Sure, but that experience should have taught them that launching
250,000 pounds into LEO and bringing back 200,000 pounds of it every

space flight should be to launch as little mass as possible - just
enough to get the crew up to do the job and back down safely.

Which then limits you to the moral equivalent of the Mercury or Gemini
flights - because thats all you are going to get at the 'minimum mass
level'.
