Aren't NASA's budget and their subsequent aerospace contracts mere drops in the ocean compared to the DoD budget and their contracts? It seems like a PR and politics problem more than a real risk of NASA bankrupting Boeing.

While this is true when considering the total sum of the DoD budget, I think it would be more fair to compare the DoD's R&D budget -- which stood at something like $60B vs. NASA's $21B total... which really makes you wonder.. Anyway, along with people with stars on their shoulders, you can also piss off a congress-person who has a large NASA facility in their district..
