- vojtapol 2y agoThat's just straight up not true. The $3bn were never meant to fund the entire project in the way you imply.
- panick21_ 2y agoThat is totally false, but you are not the first person I have heard spread this roomer. You can go to the official govenrment website and look at the contract, it tells you exactly how much has been paid out and how much has not been. The money is getting out as SpaceX hits development milestones. I don't remember, exactly but about 2.x billion $ were paid out so far. The money is spread over 40ish milestones. And they have done like 25 or so by now. To get the full pay out, they will be required to land on the moon and take off again. Those are likely the last couple milestones.
