I have recently been reading up on Apollo program, and more on the logistical and bureaucratic side. I am convinced the technical achievements have peaked around that time. Apollo was mind boggling complex, and at the time unknown territory. But one of the few reasons it worked was the work culture - pride of what you were doing and being well compensated - and new growing organization free of political appointees and middle-management corporate freeloaders.
NASA in those days was razor sharp (not to downplay current achievements of NASA)
There are few reasons spaceX will not reach moon, and mars is even more laughable.
Starship prime and only reason is to make starlink financially viable. Its a cargo-bus to LEO. Musk is using taxpayers money under false pretense of going to the moon.
