It’s not a usual cost-plus contract, to my knowledge, the government hasn’t funded it beyond the initial half billion. Boeing is taking a bath on this capsule development, needs the crew contracts to recoup, and that’s why I don’t believe they will abandon it.
Sunk cost fallacy. Fuck Boeing, why should the government keep funding this?

This whole thing makes me feel so sad.
I don’t know. Part of me feels a bit of glee that Boeing is having to foot the bill for their own incompetence.
