When your poor rocket engine has not reached orbit after a long time in design and development adjust the target on the second surface.

Participation trophy culture.

It’s good to nurture some competition in this space. It’ll be good for NASA in the long run if it gets more bidders.

For high risk government efforts. This isn’t a bad strategy. NASA can rely on blue origin for future competitive bids.
