Russia drags NASA: Enjoy your expensive SpaceX capsule, our Soyuz is the cheap Kalashnikov of rockets

Boeing recieved 4.82 billion in grants and contracts to design and build the Starliner. They charge 90m per seat on top of that- but have yet to acctually complete a mission.

SpaceX recieved 3.4 billion in precontracts to develop Dragon, and charge 55M per seat.

Roscosmos charge 89 M per seat with no upfront grant.

evin the OIG - Office of Inspector General - found that the home grown solutions were more expensive.

BTW, to put it in todays costs - appollo cost around 152 Billion, in todays money.
