SpaceX has been awarded 2.89 billion to develop starship into HLS. They have zero deliverables even though the first orbital flight was supposed to be 2021, cryogenic in orbit refueling in 2022… They’re supposed to be landing on the moon this year. They’re not even trying.
Starship’s development (and all of SpaceX, really) is being funded at least in part by government subsidies. They’re building it for NASA as their next manned vehicle platform.
Was this under a gov contract? I thought it’s commercial

nope, never. they might also have some small commercial contracts, but none of it works without government subsidies.
