> two contracts that have missed deadlines.

Just two. Wow. That’s an unprecedented track record in the space industry.

Every industry has different critical indicators. “Late” doesn’t mean much here.

Even routine individual launches are often scheduled as “NET” or “No Earlier Than”.

For major new rocket designs, it’s a lot like me and social events. “If I’m not late, I’m not coming!”
