Reply to comment by GrittyPrettySitty in NASA outlines case for making sole-source SLS award to Boeing-Northrop joint venture by jeffsmith202

Government contractors aren't allowed enough risk of failure and because of this, they drag their feet at massive cost to the government.

For example: If Starliner and SLS fails, Boeing will be at 0 risk of going under. If Starlink and Starship fails, SpaceX will almost definitely go under. So it's no surprise which of those two moves more quickly.
