NASA Paid Boeing $4.2 Billion. It Got a Cargo Van
Critics are mocking NASA's $4.2 billion Boeing contract, arguing the agency received little more than a 'cargo van' for the money — a jab at the slow and costly development of Boeing's spacecraft work compared with rivals like SpaceX. Commentators are using the comparison to question value for money in NASA's commercial crew and cargo programs and Boeing's track record on fixed-price space contracts.
Why now: Frustration with Boeing's expensive, delayed space program under NASA contracts is fueling fresh criticism online.
