NASA shock: Apollo was an inefficient Moon landing but ‘impressive’ Elon Musk will fix it

Lembit Öpik, Chairman of Parliament for the space nation Asgardia, spoke to Express.co.uk about why he thinks people like Elon Musk can improve upon NASA’s original achievement. 

According to the Asgardian politician, Apollo was a “quick dash to the Moon in the shortest possible time”. 

He said: “Elon Musk particularly, in my opinion, is being very impressive in changing that into a more practical proposition.” 

President John F Kennedy ordered NASA to put a man on the Moon before the end of the decade in 1961.
