A new government audit shows NASA is paying bonuses to Boeing, even though Boeing is behind schedule on an important project.
And it's not just behind schedule, reports the website BGR, but over budget too, by more than a billion dollars.
The project in question is the Space Launch System project, or SLS, which NASA plans to use on both the mission to the Moon and to Mars.
The site says NASA has paid Boeing what are basically award fees of roughly $271 million dollars.
