Ah yes. One of them got $2.6B for six flights. The other one got $4.2B for six flights.

One of them flew six flights successfully, got contract extended further to 14 flights for a total of 4.93 billion. They also flew other paying customers seven times.

In that time, the second one flew once with astronauts, and had so many problems that they ended up coming home on the first guy's spacecraft.

I will let you figure out who is who.

Consistent delivery at all levels indeed.

Spending taxpayer money towards lazy union worker > good.

Spending less money towards hardworking non-union worker that actually delivers something > bad.

Funny world we live in.
