NASA Paid Boeing $4.2 Billion. It Got a Cargo Van
Criticism is being levelled at NASA's commercial crew contract with Boeing, under which the agency paid $4.2 billion for the Starliner spacecraft. Commenters argue the result falls short of expectations, mockingly comparing the capsule to a cargo van, especially against SpaceX's cheaper Crew Dragon alternative. The jab feeds into wider debate over Boeing's struggles with Starliner and whether NASA got value for money from the programme.
Why now: Boeing's ongoing Starliner troubles keep drawing scrutiny of what NASA received for its $4.2 billion investment.
