Also, I agree with you on who should get the lion's share. That being said, I think SpaceX will deliver more for $2B than Boeing does for $4B...
I agree that SpaceX will probably deliver more. I don’t necessarily have a problem with two different capsule designs, they are both quite different from each other. SNC’s Dreamchaser is a nice idea but I’ve been unimpressed by their execution of it so far. I think that’s highly unfortunate because I want to see another space plane succeed the shuttle. But I do see the attraction in the “old standard” of Boeing’s command module but I’d rather it be a fallback in case SpaceX’s more innovative DragonRider fails to pan out. Unfortunately I suspect Boeing as a company will not be content to wait in a holding pattern forever, and the cost of finishing their development is probably considerably more than SpaceX. I really don’t like the situation, it feels like it’s rewarding Boeing for inefficiency.
