Safety margins are different now. NASA has very very high thresholds for safety. Apollo was a deathtrap by comparison and wouldn't be approved by their current safety requirements.
Like the Lunar Module, the LM had one engine. Which was sufficient. But now they want redundant engines, so you have to have three engines. And one large bell vacuum engine is more efficient than three smaller ones so it's heavier and less efficient. Which means you need a bigger rocket to launch it on the ground.

Notice he's essentially against renewable energy and solar.
