SpaceX retiring Crew Dragon, forcing NASA to rely on Boeing's Starliner

SpaceX plans to retire Crew Dragon after 2030, so NASA is preparing to order two more crewed Starliner flights from Boeing and pay for part of the work to fix engine problems. Boeing's losses on the Starliner program have exceeded $2 billion.

• NASA will order two additional crewed Starliner flights from Boeing
• SpaceX received $946 million for three Crew Dragon flights to ISS through 2030
• Boeing's losses on Starliner program exceed $2 billion
• Uncrewed Starliner-1 remains a mandatory step for certification
