The mission was contracted for 2023, which already passed. I know SpaceX didn't cancel it (why would they of they can just move the date into the future indefinitely) and that's why I said they didn't perform it. But the result is the same and the reaction of the client understandable. Any sane party will cancel a contract when they see that the other party is unable to fulfill their offer.

Surely the fault lies with the client who decided to sign a contract, fully understanding that it was all theoretical and based entirely on future projections, that may or may not be accurate.

It's not like he was lied to and thought that the ship already existed, or was only a couple of months away from completion.
