> I wonder if NASA could start to adopt SpaceX like approaches? Where one doesn't try to get everything correct before acting?

that would be such a culture change you'd have to disband NASA and start it over.

Yeah there is no way they do that with THREE LOCVs in their history. The fire, Challenger, and Columbia.

It's a risk-averse culture for a reason.

SpaceX is currently on a streak of over 300 successful Falcon missions in a row. I'm not convinced their approach isn't compatible with risk aversion.

They push their test rockets to failure and learn from what goes wrong. That seems to be a pretty good process for getting a solid production rocket.

Tell that to the Starliner crew and the Artemis II crew.
