Phhh. This doesn't look too complicated. My dad has an awesome set of tools. My brother & I should be able to cobble this together in a week or two, tops.

part of me agrees. if America could go to the moon and back in 1969, then surely nearly 45 years of scientific and technical evolution should allow me to build something similar, right?

You know what's neat? The new Orion rocket is using a design based on the Apollo. The nozzles they're using for the new rocket is a more streamlined design of the Apollo rocket nozzles that are being built without a single weld.
What are they using? Laser Sintering 3D Printing. Metallica powder is deposited in layers and fused together using Laser Sintering thus lowering weight and not requiring the use of welds.

Cool! What kind of fusion welding rig do you have.
If you are into this kind of stuff read Stages to Saturn. I have the print version and it is very interesting.

Just remember to outsource most of your parts to the lowest bidder. That's how they do it in big school
