Gwynne Shotwell roasts BoeingGwynne Shotwell: "We're not retiring [Falcon 9] today, for sure, and there is another provider, right? Boeing has been paid, I think probably more than we have been paid, to develop their human capsule. So we're just going to let them have some business. They should fly their capsule. Government paid a lot of money for that. They should be able to use it."@spaceflightmemes #SpaceX #Boeing #Falcon9 #Dragon #Starliner

Transcript:

Gwynne Shotwell: "A Falcon 9 with a Dragon capsule on top is like a mini van, road trip in a minivan, the road trip to Mars is six months, so you don't want to be in the mini van."

Jason Calacanis: "But people are dependent, like NASA and many other players are dependent on your minivan, so... you're gonna keep that in market for some time, or...?"

Gwynne Shotwell: "We're not retiring it today, for sure, and there is another provider, right? Boeing has been paid, I think probably more than we have been paid, to develop their human capsule. So we're just going to let them have some business. They should fly their capsule. Government paid a lot of money for that. They should be able to use it."
