Musk disputes NASA safety panel's lunar launch estimates

NASA's safety watchdog, the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP), had good news and bad news for the space agency, and SpaceX boss Elon Musk quickly disagreed with some of it. Musk disputed the reported suggestion that approximately 22 launches might be needed to support a landing by the Human Landing System (HLS) variant of Starship on the Moon. "That's way too high," Musk responded on X.
