To be fair, Boeing is developing a new capsule, while SpaceX is making Dragon 2, drawing on the legacy of Dragon 1, which they were awarded at least $1B for.
This sort of issue would have shown up on the first Dragon 1 flight if SpaceX had it.
- hurricanetc 7y agoThe total amounts awarded to each company still differ by nearly $2 billion. I cannot imagine how much more Boeing would cost if they weren’t forced to compete with SpaceX. I wonder how much further along SpaceX might be if they were able to ripoff NASA and the federal government the same way Boeing is able to.
