a) It wasn’t frictionless - the whole method of re-entry was using the Earth’s atmosphere to friction brake the capsule; all that wasted money, time, and effort with heat shields, then, and all those ablative tiles on the shuttle. The Apollo 11 hitting the Pacific Ocean at 11 km/s would have been the result of frictionless reentry, so I fear BJ’s plan may crash and burn just as spectacularly.

b) 400,000 people worked on the Apollo programme at a total cost of a quarter trillion dollars, and it took 8 years. MIT designed and built the Apollo guidance computer. The issues were vast and exceptionally complex, and its design ground breaking

Once again, BJ doesn’t know what he’s talking about (or doesn’t care, because he thinks a sound bite is better than actuality).
You take all this so literally, Hugh! Boris has a humour gene which kicks in at regular intervals.
