#2 This union was profitable for both parent companies, as ULA held a monopoly on launching national security missions and, effectively, NASA science probes. In return for 100 percent mission success, ULA received large launch contracts and an approximately $1 billion annual subsidy from the US Department of Defense to maintain "launch readiness."

...So why do they wanna sell...?

#3 Arse Technicon report. ULA probably will be sold, but past that fact, the article is a wet fart.

#4 In return for 100 percent mission success

Well, yes, there's that. The first Delta Heavy flight sorta failed but was not a total failure. After that all Atlas and Delta IV were perfect.

If SpaceX BFR, ULA Vulcan and Blue Origin New Glenn all succeed, the next round of space competition will be ... interesting.
