> 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.

We went from not having a manned space program to landing men on the moon in 8 years. This country used to be able to do things.
