It's almost as if someone could have learned something from the fact that NASA struggled hard without institutionalized deviation whenever their budget was constrained and they were pushed for results.

Also, it's almost as if there's a reason no good government should let any corporation go un-controlled. Ever.

SpaceX has been paid on delivery of promised services, and their success rates are much higher. That’s the opposite of control; that’s the government stepping back from owning a company’s costs. Seems to work a lot better than the tight relationship Boeing and government have.
