There are some good points in the article and I think some poor comparisons. I have seen examples of what they mention. NASA is still demanding things from companies like a cost plus contract but paying them like a firm fixed price contract. This basically means that the only companies that will succeed in the long run are those that have billionaire funding instead of shareholders. Assuming SpaceX doesn’t have cost overruns is just silly, it’s just that NASA doesn’t see them.
