You don't think the chair of the space council bears some responsibility here? How about the border czar for the state of the border?

  Let's turn the question around: do you think the Chair of the Space Council is directly responsible for operational decisions related to complex engineering issues on a developmental space capsule? I suspect (with heavy irony) that such decisions are delegated to, well... NASA; and indeed, were they not, there's a problem with the whole setup.

    Wasn't the whole Boeing thing, the contract, setup during a prior administration?

      Yes, this program spans three administrations, and spiritually the push to use commercial contractors dates back to at least 1984.

  What part of their duties and authority would lead you to think that? https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/12/01/executive-order-on-the-national-space-council/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases...

  The contract was awarded to Boeing in 2011.
