- vonklaus 12y agoRight. Sorry I meant how could spaceX have the largest contract, then 2 lines later, it says Boeing gets nearly twice as much. The author did some linguistic gymnastics to make Boeing sound like it was in fact, undercutting SpaceX. I felt the need to clarify it in my above post because of how obtuse that language was.
