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.
Ha ha ha what a failure of a company.
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.
Idk, Millennium, a Boeing subsidiary that makes satellites, just got a pretty good contract.

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