Default SNC Reveals DC4Science Dream Chaser Variant

In article ,
says...

6Boeing will definetely be the highest cost choice.


It's a fixed cost contract. Yes, they had the highest cost bid. So,
why are you stating the obvious?

Hopefully boeing will lose the lawsuit! Based on cost!


Doubtful. They have deeper pockets and will have better lawyers. The
fact that they won shows they're better at keeping NASA happy.

As a nation we can no longer afford congress giving prefered
contracts being irresponsible with public money.


Commercial crew is a drop in the bucket. We can afford it.

As such boeing should be deselected


Dream on, Bob. As much as I was disappointed that Boeing was picked,
this isn't likely to change in court, IMHO.
