Not to mention a national security nightmare. Imagine a world without the COTS program, where we would most likely still be waiting for whatever version of Starliner that we finally got. We would right now be reliant on Russia to return our astronauts to earth from the ISS. Can you even imagine what we’d have to give up for their safety?
