When America began looking to space, wasn't it a 3 pronged effort by the armed forces respectively. Then the best hardware was further developed by a newly created NASA?
The military have no doubt much refined missile technology in the last 30 years that could help make rockets cheaper, more efficient, perhaps even safer. Better guidance systems. Perhaps better communications to be employed once they reach the moon as well. Personally I would have thought this stuff would have been shared between the agencies before now. So I guess their just cutting away some beuracratic tape.
