I am just going to leave this video here, it is the first of four videos:

Eh, hating on SpaceX no matter what seems to be "Common Sense" Skeptic's whole shtick. I wouldn't put too much weight on anything he says.

I didn't hear any hate in the videos, just pointing out how badly SpaceX is run and obvious preferential treatment of SpaceX by Nasa.

How much did Boeing get for Starliner and how much did SpaceX get for Crew Dragon? And who has flown more missions to the ISS?

I am sorry, this comment doesn't make sense.

Sorry, that got garbled by my swiping keyboard. Fixed it now.

I don't believe it is fair to compare Boeing to SpaceX in this case, just like the video series does, the comparison should be between SpaceX and Blue Origin, and possibly ULA.
