Actually their issue seems to have been with their engines, and that
technology hasn't changed all that much in 20 years, we're still using
designs from the 50's and 60's in most cases, manufactured in Russia...

The sad thing is that the DC-X was doing something like that 20 years ago.
NASA proved to be incompetent at producing a rocket that took off and landed
on it's tail, just as Heinlein, intended, and we lost 20 years.
I wouldn't be too hard on NASA. It is difficult to compare technology
accomplishements of different ages. 20 years ago may not seem that
long ago, but think what can be done now making use of GPS satellites
that weren't available then (to consider just one such technology). 20
years ago would have been the Before-GPS-Age.
Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh.
