Nasa without contractors is just out and out welfare. I know that their plan is to do spacecraft by themselves but they can't, no way. They run up the costs and then when they get to CDR they call in the contractors. The culture is one of unaccountable slackers and incompetents. 10 % are competent, 90 % dead wood. I see it up close.
Oh, and by the way, they are about as productive as the typical Post Office twerp.
Amen
