Oh, not cost plus? Well, those are not my taxes but still that setup promotes efficiency. While this is literally rocket science it is rather standard rocket science, so i don't see many reasons for unlimited funding.
Edit: fixed price is in my opinion better for this rocket. It's mostly known risks and just optimizing delivery.

Damn you're right. They might fly once, twice in that window. It's mostly public funding of aerospace jobs, not much actual outcome expected

Is this based on local reporting or some common method? The difference between Philippines and Indonesia seems suspicious

If you treat "we" sufficiently wide, we're not. Some of us lost our money, some of us gained that money.

Fixed price does. That wasn't obvious from what i wrote?
For absolutely innovative scientific research fixed price leads nowhere. Typical example is fusion power. But this rocket? Oversimplifying: it's just bigger.
