9 months ago, 60 Minutes aired a segment about NASA's return to the Moon, and you can see that they relied on Musk's promise that his Spaceship would play a significant role, but over time they realized they had been duped by Musk and hired Bezos' Blue Origin to develop the lander, slowing the return to the moon.

And it is frightening to think that NASA could have been duped by Musk's unrealistic promises (I guess they also fell for thinking that he's real life Tony Stark). He promised that the Starship and boosters would be reusable as airplanes, able to land and fly again after a few checkups. That is why he was building that booster catcher: the plan was for them to fly to space, refuel the Spaceship, return, be refueled, fly to space again, and so on. As a result, the spaceship is refueled ten times during its journey to the Moon. Needless to say, this never worked.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
