That is exactly what NASA did for Commercial Crew. The started out awarding 5 contracts, then at each stage down-selected to 4,3, and finally 2 suppliers, Boeing and SpaceX. Also commercial crew contracts are fixed-price, pay-for-performance, not the standard cost-plus contracts. So Boeing won't get a dollar to repeat this test; they have to pay for it out of their own pocket. |

LOL. Boeing knows how to handle minor obstacles like that.

"NASA paid Boeing nearly $300 million more than originally planned in its commercial crew contract in part because of agency concerns that the company might drop out of the program, a new report claims."
