That's quite an assumption you maded there. What about the people that didn't get there first? Also am I not mistaken that the government gave their money to NASA and saif "get us there" and there wasn't any form of the competition you mentioned above?

 

Work harder to get there first (and I said could prove it, they didn’t have to build it for free).

And NASA hired a lot of contractors. It was easier for the government to create one organization to handle all things space, then to have congressmen trying to figure out things like who to give a contact to for heat resistant adhesives too.

Most of the money NASA spent was in the private sector. When they didn’t, they were a lot less efficient.

 

So where is that competition you mentioned. I do not remember NASA EVER saying "whoever does this first wins the money."

They do that all the time actually.  Different companies bring them different designs, prices and practices and they study all the plans and prices and choose the winning bids.

It's how our military works too.
