NASA QA is hardly involved. This is a feature of the CLPS process. We're trying to get to a point where "basic" space services like moon landings are a commercial off the shelf product we can buy.

I reckon there were a lot more "firsts" involved in Apollo 11 or the JWT mission.

Maybe it's cheaper to blow up a few rockets and iterate, than paying the cost of trying to perfect it on the first try?

Now now now no need for friendly fire! The correct protocol is software blames business who blames manufacturing who blames hw. This way nobody wants to bring the bad subject up :)

Which company? ULA? BO? Astrobotic?
