How do we defeat the entrenchment of oldspace?

>The NASA veteran who rose to be the agency’s No. 2 in the Obama administration doesn’t hold back in a new memoir out on Tuesday recounting her battles with unscrupulous contractors, near-sighted bureaucrats and self-dealing politicians.

>She calls out aerospace giants Boeing and Lockheed Martin and their suppliers for greedily pushing NASA leaders and Congress to initiate the $23 billion-and-counting Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion capsule that she fears will bankrupt the space program before it ever returns astronauts to the moon.

>Garver accuses lawmakers in both parties of continuing to put their own political interests above NASA’s.

>She says one of the biggest impediments to reform was Bill Nelson, the former U.S. senator from Florida who represented Kennedy Space Center and now runs NASA.

>And Nelson, she says, who along with then-Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison “forced on us” the SLS, the taxpayer-funded mega-moon rocket that is years behind schedule, billions over cost and slated to finally make its first uncrewed flight this summer.

Sounds like she fucked up in her own job and is now trying to blame others for her failures.

No, the current success is due to her pushing the commercial space agenda behind the backs of many of the senior NASA staff including the NASA admins, legacy industry contractors, all the astronauts, and congressmen/women. The success of green lighting the commercial space came only as an afterthought program. With minimal funding initially, delayed funding, funding cannibalization in favor of other programs, etc. Commercial industry succeeded largely in part to the small initial funding she sought and SpaceX's exceptionally driven successes. Now the very people who sought to stop SpaceX and stop commercial industry are leading NASA, they're taking credit for the commercial space.

As the saying goes, success has many fathers. Failures is an orphan.

Sorry I misunderstood the OP then.
