>>12330866They thought their chunk (5.5 something billion dollars) wasn't enough, and expected SpaceX (they received like 2.7~ billion) to run out and ask for more money, once SpaceX asked for money, they would ask NASA for more to pay off the rest of Starliner dev, then actually finish it
That never happened lmao, Crewed Dragon was a success, and SpaceX never asked for more money, so Boeing had to Cope, and fucked up
Thanks to the program not being cost+, Boeing is picking up their mess out of their own pocket, which is great because usually the taxpayer does that (it will probably be canceled)
