In the interest of full disclosure ... I'm retired Boeing Space/Missile guy - LOL. So am honor bound to toss out the company line when I see it. It keeps the retirement check coming in. (But don't disagree with ya).

I will admit that they have made great achievements in past, and have a great engineering crew still.
But they are often over-priced and milk the public purse. And they've also been lagging behind expectations lately.
Especially with Space.

Again, I can't disagree. Military contractors have always been overpriced. They underbid the competition and then overrun the budget and the government always bails them out. It's a system that has always sucked. Part of the 'swamp'.
