Hit the Moon? Colonized it. Let's see, NASP/X-30, X-33, X-34, X-38,
and a whole list of 3-or-4-letter-acronym new launch system initiatives
I can't even recall the names of anymore. I suspect I'm past ten
billion wasted without even mentioning Constellation...
Colonized it.

There are probably some of us on this list that could have at least **hit** the moon with “something” with the amount of money wasted that has never got past Power Point and prototypes.
Then again, we can sleep at night and not feel guilty.
Stress is a bad thing in this game and should be avoided. Shame about Masten.

To the surprise of no one in the industry, Boeing also dropped out of XS-1 (the DARPA reusable first stage program) today without even getting vaguely close to ever flying anything. Imagine what Masten would have done with $150M. Possibly imploded under the stress! But they sure as hell would have gotten closer to flight.
Jeff performed his role well of pointing out the arc of recent DARPA launch programs. https://spacenews.com/boeing-drops-out-of-darpa-experimental-spaceplane-program/

Boeing is telling customers and suppliers that the 737 MAX will
not receive its first regulatory approvals until “mid-2020,” which
all but ensures MAX operators will not have the aircraft before
the peak mid-year travel period ends.
The FAA is finding issues with the FMS as well apparently. Mother
Boeing really took a hit on this one and the supplier industry
fallout is becoming significant. 3000 lay-offs at Spirit alone.
What went wrong with Boeing may be a book title soon.
