      It’s only worth its contracts at this point and those are negligible. The space industry is starting to boom with innovative new startups and launch services getting cheaper with reusable rockets. Boeing already has a storied legacy as well as a foothold in the industry and they still managed to fuck it up. Absolutely worse than morning leadership to not be able to capitalize on what they already have.

      It’s like if Google decided to sell off the AI portion of their business.

    Could this be a trick to try to put the liabilities of active Commercial Crew obligations into a dead end company while the parent keeps all $4.2 billion the government spent?

    Makes sense considering overall they’re hemorrhaging money due to the ongoing strike. That and their capsule issues.

    No thanks. If I wanted to blow myself up, I’d ride the one that looks like a penis built by the guy who also looks like a penis.

    Maybe NASA should buy it so they can stop wasting money on profits for Boeing

      I would rather them spend the money on Bitcoin, or maybe space missions.

    Let’s hope musk doesn’t buy it.

      Wouldn’t that be an anti-trust issue, since he’s already got SpaceX?

      There’s nothing they need from Boeing. Dragon and Falcon are both proven platforms already. Boeing doesn’t have much to offer that SpaceX doesn’t already have a solution for.

          Those engineers are free to leave and go work for SpaceX instead. You don’t buy a failing business division to get a few people and trash everything else.

      Don’t be too sure. Boeing space has heavy synergy with their early and missile departments.
