> I meant, how did spaceX receive the largest contract ever, then 2 lines later, it says Boeing received a larger contract.

The contract SpaceX received was bigger than any contract SpaceX had previously received. The contract Boeing received was larger than SpaceX's, but not Boeing's largest in its history by far.

Thanks you for this. That means that in the original wording:

>Last month, NASA said it would pay SpaceX its largest single contract ever, $2.6 billion

The word "its" is an ambiguous pronoun - those who read it to mean "NASA" are left confused, since it seems like NASA just went around awarding even larger contracts. In fact, I think it's not only ambiguous, but in the most obvious interpretation of that sentence, it does indeed sound like NASA's biggest single awarded contract ever.
