Theoretically private programs would be an increased cost over a NASA only program since private companies want a profit margin.
But Congress being what it is tends to require NASA programs to create jobs in a lot of different voting districts across the country which leads to an insane amount of inefficiencies.
We can’t have nice things because of pork barrel politics.
Private Companies however have no insintive to actualy innovate, if you look at them they are all taking decades old NASA and USSR Space program tech and resuing it … and callling it innovation
I’m sorry… this is not true lol. You know what SpaceX is up to, right? At the least, but there are tons of interesting and innovative companies. I mean hell look at Stoke Space
I disagree privitizing space will do absolutly nothing but lead to balooned costs and stagnation.
