Serious question - is it nasa over spending, or is it congress forcing certain requirements on them making things more complicated that leads to over spending?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I am by no means a good source. From what I've read and seen it definitely seems like that is part of the issue. I believe for a time Nasa was also hugely underselling the real cost (likely so they could get it pushed through in the first place) which also lead to issues of its own.
