Cut underperforming contractors loose, with alacrity. Bring the physical construction of tools, suits and spacecraft in house, for better cost control. Contractors should be prepared to move contracted services to Florida or Texas to work under direct NASA supervision. For every middle manager I’d have to hire, I’d request positions for 2 engineers. TLDR; Boeing is a sinking ship, detach them.
