I’m not surprised. The government is so risk adverse they overbuild everything.
They mat have kids at home, or in college, they know there’s no rush, the jokers building space capability started taking their sweet time after Apollo — that was a program operating against a deadline.
an elephant is a mouse built to Government specifications.
But But But is his company diverse??
They are lucky if they get to the building part of anything, or even the prototype testing part.
Mostly it is bureaucrats increasing bureaucracy hoping to expand bureaucracy requirements so they have to hire and get a promotion for being in charge of an office.
It now takes decades to do thing we used to do in years.
