NASA's inspector general was concerned enough with quality control to recommend that the space agency institute financial penalties for Boeing’s noncompliance. However, in a response to the report, NASA's deputy associate administrator, Catherine Koerner, declined to do so.

Someone needs to start looking into Deputy Directory Koerner's financials. Between this and the Starliner fiasco, it's starting to beggar belief that NASA hasn't started kicking Boeing hard in the wallet.
