"The firm has a $1.6bn (£1bn; 1.3bn-euro) contract with the US space agency (Nasa) waiting to be triggered on the successful recovery of Dragon from the ocean."

- planetguy 14y agoI find it hard to believe that they didn't negotiate a contract which would provide partial credit if things happen to go pear-shaped (or rather, pancake-shaped) at this point.
- freehunter 14y agoI believe up to this point they have milestone contracts. I'm not familiar with which milestones those trigger, but they did negotiate a failsafe in case it got to some point successfully but then failed. From here on out though, their forthcoming contracts are not milestone.
