Show me where the US has ever landed the lower stages of a rocket system for rapid reusability. I'm assuming that the contract you are speaking of is the $2.6 Billion 2014 contract with NASA. That was actually NOT that. It was a contract to build a transportation system to transport people into orbit. That was done in 2020... late for sure, but done.
I'm not saying that SpaceX is perfect and I don't particularly like Musk, but they've done more than anyone else in the past decade or so. Last year, there were 223 launches into orbit or above worldwide. SpaceX did 98 of them. This year (as of October 23rd) there have been 198 launches worldwide. SpaceX did 100 of them. That's more that 2 a WEEK. SpaceX has launched 15 total crewed flights into LEO as of now. 13 to the ISS and 2 just into orbit. I'd call that getting into orbit.
Boing and SpaceX were awarded the contract and Boing got almost TWICE the money SpaceX did, yet they haven't done it YET. I suppose they did HALF the job as they managed to fly two astronauts to the ISS and strand them there. SpaceX is the ONLY US company that can get our people into space. NASA had to pay for rides with the Russians for almost 10 years.
Again, I'm not saying that Musk and SpaceX are anywhere close to perfect, but they are the best in the world right now and it's not even close.
As for the lunar stuff, I think you are talking about the Artemis program. That's a NASA program and here's a link to the details of that below. SpaceX DOES have a part in that in providing a Starship to descend and ascend from the lunar surface. That's not scheduled until late 2026 and depends on NASA launching the 2nd (1st crewed) Artemis mission in September 2025. And I ask you... what are the chances THAT happens on time. So SpaceX has plenty of time to get their ducks in a row for this. I doubt it will be them holding this projects back. NASA's own inspector general has called NASA's schedule unrealistic.
