Without knowing what you mean by "base technologies" (I'm not sure
that you do, either), I can't respond to this.

>Can they be deployed more efficiently or by other parties?
>Those seem to be the points of debate.

If they are, then they're the wrong points, and questions. It's not
NASA's "technologies" that are flawed, but (as I said) their
architectural approach.
