Flight control events need to be controlled by more than just a MET clock, especially with all the CPU and RAM these current generation spacecraft contain.
It would be hard not to suggest a $1B penalty for contract failure, since they didn't dock with the ISS - the primary point, besides landing.
Sure, I prefer to have 2 manned solutions for access to space, but not when 1 is 2x the cost.

Wonder if this was a case of typical Boeing... the Enhanced Flight Control system was an additional extra...

Gotta say that's some beautiful photography there.

"a mission cut short by an improperly set clock on the spacecraft".
Ooooops!
I bet there was no eye contact with the flight controller, "right how's to blame for this mess??"
