Seriously.
Look at NASA, they definitely haven't outsourced anything at all. They use all in house hardware and software to launch satellites or send astronauts to the ISS.

Eh, is this sarcasm?
NASA has outsourced things since the original Apollo program, massively.
NASA has never brought a single astronaut into space on a fully NASA-made rocket. Especially with parts like these, they're commonky outsourced.

Of course it was sarcasm, I thought it was obvious. NASA outsources everything these days. I was responding to the idea that you should never outsource important things when EVERYTHING is outsourced, including astornaut launches
The software might have been outsourced to another company.
