I don’t know that decontamination is standard.
It is bad if only a small number of people get access to space. Once SpaceX can handle space, NASA can be eliminated. DOGE has already targeted NASA.

So this lander was funded by NASA. It’s also increasing the access to space my making it cheaper and more payload capacity. I don’t see how keeping a NASA monopoly increases access to space.
