You still seem to misunderstand. Yes ULA is LM+Boeing.

However the Starliner has nothing to do with ULA. Its simply a Boeing project.

Just as the Orion is LM product.

ULA does not do anything with the Starliner except launch it.

LM in space domain had massive cost overruns with Orion and just recently had another major fuckup that requires them to do another 6 month work on it. Only because Boeing with SLS is performing even worse do they not get as much criticism for their terrible execution.

> At a minimum, there should be two competing designs

Tell that to congress.
