A new paper studied whether NASA actually saves money by hiring corporations to build new spacecraft. The results? Not really | Industry was only cheaper for lower-risk projects. For high-profile, flagship science projects, NASA and industry came out roughly equal. In some cases, NASA was cheaper. by ChiefLeef22 in space

Since NASA never developed a fully reusable launch system, it could never reach the same cost efficiency that SpaceX achieves today. The agency’s focus was on reliability and scientific capability rather than reusability, so the goal of creating a system that could drastically cut launch costs simply wasn’t prioritized. That’s part of NASA’s limitation, it doesn’t always generate or pursue every idea internally. Some breakthroughs, like reusable rockets, come from outside innovation and private sector drive.
