The author concludes that large space program projects should be abandoned in favor of smaller ones. This is because large projects have recently suffered costly setbacks.

The author assumes that large projects shouldn’t continue to be funded if they suffer costly setbacks. The author further assumes small projects are a better bet, meaning the small projects would provide a benefit while not having the same problems.

This seems to weaken the author’s argument. If projects cost more to start every year, then starting new, smaller projects might not actually be more efficient than carrying on a large project started years ago.

This is irrelevant, because it doesn't explain why large projects should be abandoned if they suffer costly setbacks, or why small projects are better. It just says that in one regard, large and small projects are the same.

Large projects are always a big risk, while small projects are a safer bet. This supports the author's argument by explaining a benefit of small projects over large projects.

We don’t care what project managers prefer. The author doesn’t factor them into funding decisions, so we can't assume that they're relevant.

Is it better to explore more regions, or to explore more thoroughly? We don't know, so this difference isn't relevant to which programs should be funded.
