But All of the gods of the People are Idols, so Turn Away from [NASA], who Associates gods [Apollo and Artemis] with God
For Satan's Authority is Over those who Associate gods with God through him, and Indeed, they Only Invent Falsehood, and Indeed they are the Liars
37:86, Qur'an
Do you [O NASA,] desire falsehood [as] gods other than God?
1 Chronicles 16:26, Torah
For all the gods of the people [are] idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
[For] Abe Silverstein, Director of Space Flight Development, proposed the name "Apollo" because it was the name of a god in ancient Greek mythology with attractive connotations and the precedent for naming manned spaceflight projects for mythological gods and heroes had been set with Mercury -
Mercury was the messenger of the gods in ancient Roman and (as Hermes) Greek mythology. The symbolic associations of this name appealed to Abe Silverstein.

[And thus,] they have taken gods besides God so that they would be honor for them.
16:104 - 105, Qur'an
[For] indeed, those who do not believe in the verses of God - God will not guide them, and there is a painful punishment for them. [For] those who do not believe in the verses of God only invent falsehood, and it is those who are the liars.
15:94 - 96, Qur'an
[So] declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists. Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers who make another god [as similar] with God. But they are going to know.
