It's a travesty that Boeing got more than SpaceX, and Sierra Nevada got any money at all. I can't wait to see those two bloated, horrifically managed behemoths fail miserable with the money. The only reason NASA gave them anything was to shut up the congressman Boeing and Sierra have in their pockets.
Remember this, because SpaceX, with slightly less money than Boeing, will produce FAR, FAR more.
- zcvosdfdgj 14y agoSierra Nevada and SpaceX have almost the same number of employees. So not sure why you think they're bloated and SpaceX isn't. Personally I'm happy NASA spread the money around. The last thing we need is the government to simply build another Boeing or Lockheed. And by that I mean: if SpaceX has 100% of the market because of NASAs funding, I fully expect them to stop competing on price (at some point).

- lutorm 14y agoWell, someone said "with the Boeing overhead, that's like them getting half the money that SpaceX got"... ;-)
