It seems to smack of gross incompetence. Where did all the money go? One has to wonder how many people ought to be sacked over this, from engineers through to accountants.
I imagine the Russians could have developed a dozen different launch vehicles for this sort of money. I believe that NASA already uses Russian Rocket engines on several launch vehicles, so totally outsourcing a development program shouldn't seem too outlandish!
