You have absolutely no idea in Hades what you are talking about. All contracts are bid within the private sector. There are Cost Plus Incentive Fees, Cost Plus Award Fees, etc. type contracts.

I worked in the Munitions part of defense contracts for 25 years and the NASA contracts are bid the same way. You have latched on to something you don't understand and apparently can't be explained to you even in simple terms.

Tell me all you know about the Vanguard project.

Sure, right after you tell me what you've just posted has to do with ANYTHING that I've posted. You were fishing for an excuse to insult, but you slipped off the logical boat in the process. Life preserver, anyone?
