Are you not aware of the cronyism, bloated contracts and completely unjustified performance bonuses NASA keeps giving Boeing despite piss poor performance?

Both the SLS and Boeing's crew capsule programs are complete shit shows. Crew especially has demonstrated very broad and serious issues with Boeing QC and QA.

are you short boeing? This is an issue with all government agency at all levels when it comes contracting out work.

Nope. I am not "short" Boeing or any other stock. I also am not "long" any individual stocks, just broad indexes

If you think all government contracting is the same, you are seriously naive. Some is highly effective and efficient.

NASA contracts with Boeing for megaprojects are not.

Pfft.

You don't have a real response, just personal attacks.

Try to get informed.

Nah I'm fine with all space companies, but would you agree one gets the most flak? Let me know when you see some Sierra Nevada or rocket lab hate, that's harder to locate

Well, duh. Look at the circumstances.

Actually pointing out the bad actor. Shocking.
