    Important to point out that a lot of NASA’s problems are probably caused by Congress: their attempts to “save money” by re-using designs, the risk of NASA losing funding if any rocket they make fails, their insistence on having NASA support government military contractors, etc

    This is a lot of what is preventing them from taking the rapid prototyping and iterative approach of SpaceX.
