I'll take a stab at answering this. SpaceX does thing almost entirely in house, with a non union workforce that pretty much everyone agrees is underpaid compared to their counterparts, they use kerolox instead of more complicated hydrolox systems, they don't use solids, their vehicles are newer than ULA's, and had different designs parameters. ULA vehicles were designed by Boeing and Lockheed, old school government contractors where cost wasn't the primary concern.

Hey Tory, thanks for doing this
I know you’re saving all the details about the NGLV until the Space Symposium, but I was wondering if you could at least reveal what the plan is for the pads. I’ve heard rumors that it’ll fly from the Atlas pads, but in light of your plans to retire DIV (excluding the heavy), and Delta’s lower flight rate in general, is that still the plan, if it ever was?
Thanks!

Teleporters man! And spare fuel tanks. Those got me the best score in my class.
