Some startups are working and some aren't. That shouldn't be surprising. This is one of the reasons for dissimilar redundancy on a lot of these contracts.

"New Space" companies that survive the startup phase are stealing market share and giving a kick in the pants to legacy primes in a lot of areas. NASA centers need to shape up, too.
