    Sunk cost fallacy. Fuck Boeing, why should the government keep funding this?

      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.
