    There are significant issues with this question. The linked ArsTechnica article is about Boeing's CST-100 Starliner, which is being built on a firm fixed price basis. Starliner and Orion have nothing to do with one another. The Orion spacecraft is being built by Lockheed Martin on a cost-plus basis. Commented May 18, 2022 at 12:51

    Also, Commercial Crew has nothing to do with going to the Moon (or Mars). The Commercial Crew & Cargo Program Office (C3PO!) was concerned with sending crew and cargo to the International Space Station and returning them to Earth. I think the name has changed (but I did like C3PO as an acronym), but the goal of Commercial Crew & Cargo has remained unchanged. The target is the ISS, not the Moon. Commented May 18, 2022 at 13:01
  • @DavidHammen I have Swiss cheese for gray matter, so I occasionally end up superimposing several items in the same location. This also means I can't count as high as even a pigeon, so all I can remember is that there's a SpaceX capsule and a cloud of not-SpaceX capsules. Anyway I've switched the first sentence to Starliner, thanks!
