Like in world war 2, weapons are manufactured by the government but now there are weapons companies doing it for the government.

1. Cause the government subcontracts everything
2. Privatized companies are out to make money - faster+cheaper+better=profit

I do some work for NASA and at one time their philosophy was also faster+cheaper+better.
Turned out faster+cheaper+better=failure.  It got to be the joke faster+cheaper+better,
pick two out of three.  Now the main emphasis is on reliability, and most recent launches,
such as the Phoenix mission to Mars and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)
have performed flawlessly.
