The last part is extremely true. I have known many engineers that worked on the B-2 and have since retired. There's very little chance many of them would come out of retirement and honestly I don't think the government would pay for that.

And even if they did, no one remembers that well the things they did decades ago.

And even if they did, would that knowledge help reproduce it on modern equipment? Going to have to rebuild all of the tooling and processes anyways.
