Reply to comment by wanabeagirl in NASA delays Boeing Starliner's debut crewed voyage by mustafar0111

That's assembly. Rostov007 was talking about testing. Besides, SpaceX doesn't have a sliver of the government contracts that Boeing does, and certainly less than a sliver of its history. How much of SpaceX are miltary contracts? Boeing does a huge amount.

Anyway, enough of this. Unsubscribing. There's a weird kneejerk positive reaction to SpaceX and similarly weird kneejerk negative reaction to other companies (and NASA) that I'm not willing to engage right now.

Unsubscribing.

Oh cut the crap. Cameras are constantly filming the Starship tests and do you have any idea how many cameras are pointed at their McGregor test site?

SpaceX actually has about the same number of government launch contracts as Boeing does (assuming you include ULA) so I'm not sure what your point is here.

That's true. SpaceX doesn't have nearly as many failures in their history as Boeing does :)

Seriously though, wtf does this have to do with anything?

SpaceX has more military launch contracts that Boeing does since Boeing has precisely zero so what's your point?

Oh please. Boeing has been one failure after another since the MD merger. SLS is ludicrously over-budget. 787 deliveries are suspended again. The 737 Max fiasco. Starliner is a joke.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to keep defending a company that keeps failing, but that's something you need to figure out for yourself.
