ULA has a budget issue

The attached is about how the United launch alliance is over budget and behind schedule. 

And that newer private companies are eating their lunch. 

What I find interesting is how the old guard NASA contractors are still relying on how business used to run, with bloated government contracts and lots of forgiveness given that they helped put a man on the moon. 

The 21st century requires profitability and new ways of thinking about technology.
