Elon Musk Finally Revealed Why Boeing Starliner FAILED: NASA Fixed Contracts?
SpaceX creates a monopoly. SpaceX destroys competition. SpaceX is the reason many companies can’t catch a break.
These are the dramatic claims floating around the aerospace industry. But is there any truth to them?
Not really. SpaceX’s reign is more about NASA’s fixed contracts and the occasional stumble of other companies, like Boeing with their Starliner fiasco. And no, it’s not just gossip—Elon Musk himself has spilled the beans on why Starliner didn’t quite hit the mark.
So buckle up and join us as we dive into this topic in today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
Elon Musk Finally Revealed Why Boeing Starliner FAILED: NASA Fixed Contracts?
Indeed, when mentioning NASA’s fixed contracts, Boeing and Starliner come to mind as the biggest disappointments in recent years. Despite receiving almost double the funding compared to SpaceX in the Commercial Crew Program, Boeing’s performance has been less than stellar.
Awarded the contract in 2014 and aiming for a 2017 launch, Starliner’s first crew flight only took off on June 5 this year. Those seven years were marked by stagnation and ongoing issues with their vehicles. This not only caused significant delays for both Boeing and NASA but also led to substantial financial losses.

With just one crew flight to date, Starliner’s achievements pale in comparison to what SpaceX Dragon has accomplished. Keep in mind, that mission was a test mission, meaning Starliner has yet to receive launch certification or fulfill any of its CCP contract obligations. They have only a few years left to complete the six required missions.
What’s more embarrassing, despite a successful launch, Starliner encountered numerous problems during the test mission. To this day, NASA and Boeing have not managed to bring their spacecraft and astronauts back. Many even suggest that NASA should send Dragon to rescue the stranded Starliner astronauts.
