Commercially built: mostly true Commercially operated: much less so (with exceptions, e.g. shuttle processing was kind-of commercial) Commercially designed: nope. The commercial resupply contracts may not quite meet everyone's idea of what "commercial" means (and there certainly was/is a lot of NASA scrutiny of the spacecraft -- rather less of the launch vehicle), but it's still a substantially different model from anything NASA has tried on a major project in the last half century. |
