SpaceX becomes NASA’s second-largest vendor, surpassing Boeing

&gt; <i>The company&#x27;s Starliner spacecraft is also an important contract, but it doesn&#x27;t look like a long-term moneymaker for the company. To fulfill its Space Station crew needs for the remainder of this decade, NASA recently decided that it would purchase a significant majority of crew flights from SpaceX rather than Boeing. This was likely due to price considerations and the operational readiness of Crew Dragon.</i><p>Given the recent details about how much they’re losing on star liner, I wonder if there’s any chance they will cancel it?

So in other words, this is just another example of how easy government money makes you lazy, complacent and ever more greedy.<p>It seems the effects may have spilled over into the passenger plane side of the industry.
