> Boeing or the military industrial complex would handle these things with precision and delivered ahead of time

that's fantasy. I've never heard of either entity delivering on time or on budget let alone ahead of time.

The A-4 from 1954? F-117 from 1981? B-21 that's been in development since 2015 and has had only 3 delivered so far? These are 10 year development program, the Starship still has some years to go and I'd argue a reusable moon rocket is a bit more involved than a bomber plane.
