We need to stop putting people up there
in 40 year old equipment. It’s expensive, worthless and most of all, dangerous.

I don't think that's quite the problem. The Soviets/Russians still use Soyuz, which was first fielded in 1967 on top of an SS-6/7 rocket booster that was developed in 1957. For using 1950's/1960's tech, the Russians have done very well although they had their share of mishaps too. We should have stayed with Apollo however, I think the shuttle's replacement is a capsule that is very similar to Apollo.

Especially if rumors are true that we have 50 or so year old equipment &/or newer
which will go to the moon, Mars, Titan etc. lickety split with virtually no danger to the crew.
