I have become firmly convinced over the years that someone in the government read “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” back in the day. Which would explane why NASA has no interest in real space programs designed to move mankind off of this world. Rather, they seek to provide expensive services to the government and corporations with enough money and political pull.

And I won’t even start with the distructive effects of cost-plus pricing on such programs.
