Great strategy! I’ll give you two trillion dollars for it!

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry, cost plus, it's five trillion now.

cost plus

The Human Landing System contracts are fixed-price, no?

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, indeed it is. So far anyway. I was just being sassy.

I like your sassiness, we need it more than ever.

As far as I understand they've done a significant amount of work related to HLS. It's not nearly as public facing as starship but they have crossed a lot of milestones that are part of their Nasa contract. Including a lot of work on orbital refueling, the HLS landing engines, and the crew version of starship.

Of course, this shit is still multiple years away so the meme holds true.
