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'.
No, Utah ... I was a Minuteman guy all my life ... AF, Rockwell/Autonetics, then we were bought out by Boeing (our enemy at one time - LOL). Worked at both Vandenberg for twenty plus years, then the moved me to Hill AFB. Retired here.
Words. When's the launch?
Once they start slinging things into space they can start talking.
Until then, back to work!
In addition Boeing, like all government aerospace contractors, are way way more expensive.
They are just trying to get their brand into the same headline as a real space outfit. Marketing
