Could We Land On The Moon Using Only A Single Starship Launch? Building Apollo With Modern Rockets.

Answering a Question from a Patreon supporter, I tried to design a US lunar landing mission which used existing or planned hardware and had all the necessary delta-V requirements to get the crew to the moon and back safely. The biggest stumbling blocks are that both Human landing systems are still being built, but everything else I choose has proven flight heritage. MHW 1961 Super-Symmetrical asked: 'Given the complexity of in orbit, refueling, and the large number of flights. It takes what if we adopted Saturn five strategy of big powerful first stage and then two upper stages that are hydrogen oxygen. Given the increased performance of this type of system, wouldn’t we be able to possibly get to the moon directly without all the refueling stuff what would be the complexities of having a three stage system much like the Apollo Saturn five. Was this ever considered?'
