Is that still right? Calypso is planned to fly CFT and then Starliner-1 as well? The only source I find is older than the OFT - made at a point where Spacecraft 2 was planned to fly CFT. With the added OFT-2 I think this source is obsolete. --mfb (talk) 19:35, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Boeing signed a fixed-price contract with payments depending on stated milestones. They "self-fund" the entire development, and they get paid when they achieve each such milestone. The fact that Boeing's press releases refer to the repeat of the OFT as being "self funded" is basically a PR move and this characterization is simply repeated in the press. I think it falls under the "what the subject says about itself" NPOV rule. I think "NASA agreed to allow Boeing to repeat the test" is more objective. Boeing's alternative to "self-funding" this repeat test would have been to withdraw from the contract. -Arch dude (talk) 17:15, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
