-- The transition is uneven — national security missions still require bespoke classified systems that commercial providers cannot serve off-the-shelf. Cost-plus contracting persists in programs where requirements are genuinely uncertain (e.g., SLS, deep-space habitats). The 'buyer not builder' framing may overstate how much has actually changed outside LEO launch services.

-- Policy-driven funding freezes can be as damaging to commercial space program timelines as technical delays because they create capital formation uncertainty
