Ferguson said Boeing is paying NASA to operate the Starliner in flight. It doesn't look like Boeing is planning on customers other than NASA. Perhaps they are just being cautious, but it doesn't look like Boeing is confident their vehicle will attract other customers.

Hmmm, the SpaceX video from the same event has 64 comments. No love for the "Starliner"?
