Arthur, I get your concerns about funding Boeing’s Starliner program, especially with SpaceX doing so well. Space exploration is risky and expensive, and Boeing’s recent issues make it hard to justify continued investment. But space programs drive innovation and having more than one company involved is crucial for national security and competition.
Public trust in Boeing is low, and another failure would be tough. However, giving up on the program now could mean missing out on future advancements. Space exploration needs long-term commitment, even when results aren’t immediate.
