Paperwork stops space privateers building lunar lander, New Scientist

“NASA wants 40 to 50 monthly reports on what you’re doing,” David Gump, president of the Transformational Space consortium told New Scientist on Monday. And while “we could build a great Crew Exploration Vehicle”, Gump says, the consortium cannot comply with the reports and studies NASA stipulates to monitor the project.”

Editor’s note: Yawn. When the going gets tough, blame it all on paperwork.
