WHY DOES the U.S. Air Force want to destroy the struggling U.S. space launch business? Read the entire post, then go to the Lexington Institute mission statement:

The Lexington Institute believes in limiting the role of the federal government to those functions explicitly stated or implicitly defined by the Constitution. The Institute therefore actively opposes the unnecessary intrusion of the federal government into the commerce and culture of the nation, and strives to find nongovernmental, market-based solutions to public-policy challenges. We believe a dynamic private sector is the greatest engine for social progress and economic prosperity.

Now explain the contradiction.
