I believe the Idea behind a return to the moon is focused on final research before commercialization. The Apollo missions were simply to prove it could be done, and to send a message of US superiority. The hardware for Apollo would be useless in the new venture as it lacks the fundementals required to accomplish the next phase of Lunar exploration. Think of it as attempting to win Daytona with a model T ford.
