Or, putting it another way, yet again designed down to a budget.
By who?
Boeing and SpaceX were both awarded contracts to provide ferry flights to the ISS at the same time. Boeing got $4.2B, SpaceX got just $2.6B.
SpaceX has now flown 13 successful manned flights to the ISS. This was the first Boeing manned flight to actually reach the station.
And Boeing have already filled accounts reporting a loss on the program so far of an additional $1.6B.
With further redesigns and test flights, at Boeing expense, certain to be required and with only a few remaining unallocated resupply flights to the ISS before it is retired (assisted by another dedicated SpaceX mission), it will also probably be the last Starliner flight.
