>"The fact is, if [SpaceX is] not flying on the time they’ve said, it does us no good to have a firm, fixed-price contract other than we’re not paying more"
Anon NASA Official said
>"I can't give him a pass on the fixed-price comment," one of these officials said of Free. "On cost-plus contracts, the hardware is always late, and you pay more. On fixed-price contracts, it's only late. So yeah, his comment was technically accurate but totally tone-deaf. What really makes me worried is that I think it shows where the heart of the agency is."
So basically Jim Free is the wolf guarding the hen house and we're fucked goung forward
