If I understand right, the cost of Starliner is 4.2 billion.

The Russians charge 70 million per flight.

So for the price of a questionable and possibly short-lived Starliner, the U.S. could have had 60 flights on Soyuz.

Butt national pride: Priceless.

Yeah, the fact that it's a Boeing. We should be amazed that it even worked.
