It's the logical move from the national security perspective but I hope this doesn't turn into another Boeing aerospace monopoly fiasco where we saw the space program effectively stagnate for 30 years due to lack of competition.

Disruptors in the chip manufacturing space are bascially gonna have to grow these things in petri dishes if we get locked into a government owned monopoly

I look at it as internal / external competition.

Even the heavyweight, plodding military-industrial companies were innovative when they were being driven by external, nation-state competitors.
