My suspicion is the damn thing will happen. Short of SpaceX’s lawsuit, which I admit might work, I expect this will go forward, given this administrations love of big corps – whether they screw you or not.

The DOD is getting ripped off, its the acquisition corps fault, and the ULA leadership will bully the DOD all the way to the bank. I pray that someone in the military space effort has a backbone to stand up to this. No monopoly is ever good.

I wonder if the ULA will mean that both LockMart and Boeing will contract with the same chapter of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers?
