NASA is paying SpaceX something like $200 million per launch. They won’t want to do that unless they have to. And if they did they still need to figure out what to do with Starliner. If they pay SpaceX and then later manage to get Starliner to work then that’s a lot of money down the drain.

- XorNot 2y agoThe cost isn't the issue here: the problem is you still have to undock and dispose of the capsule without it running back into the station.
- detaro 2y agoThe current outlined plan does not require an extra SpaceX launch, so that argument doesn't make sense.
