They passed on a government doing it, because “it doesn’t get you any votes,” and they couldn’t picture a corporation doing it, because there’s no money in it. They were looking for who would build a “huge, ambitious, expensive, difficult, dangerous project”. I found an old SLTrib article from 2017 where the authors of the TV show explain why they chose the Mormons for the spacecraft builders. What I found most interesting was how the authors of the TV show picked the Mormon church as the builders of the intergalactic spacecraft.
