Interesting dynamic emerging in this NASA advisory committee meeting. Boeing's failure on Starliner is being used as an example to favor cost-plus rather than commercial contracts. I.e. NASA would have caught it under traditional contract.

Of course the counter-argument to this is that maybe some traditional companies just can't thrive in the new world of competitive spaceflight. Maybe you shouldn't punish companies that can handle fixed price contracts because others can't.

To be clear this is a fairly common viewpoint among the older guard of aerospace. There's still a mistrust about "commercial" because they've heard about it for so long. A successful Demo-2 flight should go a long way toward dispelling some of these beliefs, I suspect.
